Fixing Our Broken Health Care System

A well thought out solution to our health care crisis..worth reading the whole article...

...There you have it, those are my suggestions for overhauling our health care system. Make it accessible, esp. to those who can’t afford it, by eliminating the inefficient and wasteful Medicaid and SCHIP programs to establish a national health care system through the expansion of the existing health department system. Make it more affordable by injecting capitalism into health care to allow hospitals, clinics and insurance companies to compete among each other. Ensure quality and patient safety. And lastly for health care providers, establish a medical court and level the playing field for EMTALA care.
