HEALTH CARE
Blow up bill, focus on what’s fixable
Regarding the Friday Charles Krauthammer column, “Health care: Kill the bills, do it right”:
Krauthammer is right on when he recommends that the proposed 2,000-plus page health-care bill be scrapped rather than debated and modified. We do not need the extra bureaucracy being proposed using money we do not have. There are known problems in the U.S. health-care system that can and should be fixed, with the result that money (that we need) will be saved and the people will be better served.
The three most urgent problems that should be fixed are 1) tort reform, 2) interstate purchase of insurance, and 3) removal of the known fraud in the Medicare system.
