NOTE--REMEMBER THE CLINTON STUDY TO TRY AND IMPLEMENT A NATIONAL HEALTHCARE PLAN THE FIRST YEAR THEY WERE IN OFFICE. HILLARY AND OVER 100 "EXPERTS" DID A
THREE MONTH STUDY, TO FIND A WAY TO IMPLEMENT THIS PLAN, THEY FAILED (actually it took 3 years, and still failure, because she tried to work with them, not tell them, this is the way it will be, as it has to be done. SO BEWARE OF THOSE THAT SAY IT CAN'T BE DONE, OR THAT THEY NEED TO DO A STUDY...THIS IS BUNK THE PLAN AS OUTLINED WILL WORK, AND THE FUNDING WILL BE THERE FOR IT THE KEY IS IN HAVING THE SHORTFALLS COVERED, THEY WILL BE WITH THE FLAT TAX PLAN AS WELL AS SOC. SEC. BEING FUNDED FULLY ...Read on The Nat's Health Care should be paid for this way. Everyone who signs up for the program, and I venture to say, that will be close to 143,000,000 people will pay 2% of their gross pay into the system, this is for adults, % add. for each child to be covered in the system. Average taxpayers will find their tax savings will cover this cost' in most cases. This will be.a full benefit program; full. 100% ' coverage inc: prescriptions. This amount of money will cover the system for the most part, the added taxes can cover shortfalls, for example; a family of4makingless than $45,000 a yr.gross will not have to pay into, the system, they get it for free. A NATl0NAL HEALTH CARD is' issued with primary personal info on the card already , that can be ;,scanned. Also one set of forms to be used Nationwide in all health care facilities,will again save Millions of $. I am on Soc. Sec. Disability and paying 5% of my check~'for Medicare, this is too much. Costs can be controlled by Central buying by the Fed. Government. For example all drugs can be purchased for millions; at a fair cost, let's say the current charge for a pill is now, 47 cents, but it costs only 17 cents to mfg. then. the new cost that the government will pay, should e maybe 30cents for this pill (all this information can be fed into the computer. system, and fair costs can be; figured out for each and every item. . this will allow plenty of profit for the drug companies.: The DRUG Advertisements NEED TO BE PROHIBITED, this is a waste of $,and would better used to keep costs down, the, Doctors know what medicines are out there. This can~'be done in 'Regions, an Easterf1!1 Central & Western region, to keep ,costs controlled &'yet provide fair $$ to each region, since the costs vary; This.,same buying power"can be used all the way down the line, instead of. 1 CAT scan machine, the gov't , buys for the region, say 12 machines at a much reduced price. All these things are dropped shipped directly to the needed facility. This will save paperwork again... By the way, the Ins. companies can still make $; selling expensive Policies to the Rich, who do not want the Government Heath Care' plan; and by using them regionally. to process health care claims" paying them a set price for< each one they process., therefore not adding, this to the duties of the Government.In addition, there must be a GOVERNMENT MALPRACTICE INSURANCE PLAN implemented to control costs of Malpractice Ins. AU those that participate will pay greatly reduced premiums, and a maximum cap will be in place of $10,000,000'for any one person to receive, with any associated. legal costs' added to this. This will help all those in the medical profession; and help keep them where they are needed, and in the medical fields. .It will be necessary to place any and all medical -," malpractice suits in a special database, and all those that are sued; , and if they are found guilty will be placed on probation, and careful watched and monitored for a;year, before being reviewed to decide if they can be removed from their probationary,status. ,If you want,more information, then contact me, I will be glad to elucidate more to you;; My name is JOHN M. ROBERTS, Any questions, contact me,various problems 'facing, this country.Oh by the way, get the troops out;, before 12/08, esp:the National Guard, they were never.trained for War. We free Iraq,and got rid Of Suddam,it is.up to them now stop the Billions wasted there, gotherei',they(have.. Millions in $,in Oil We can loan them dollars against the oil I send us the Oil, and we will ;send you ,the $$$. This possible if ,. guaranteed~against their oil reserves: In addition a WATCHDOG team of Reg. Americans, should be put into place to: Watch over Spending, ,to make sure,the Tax $$are being spent the correct way, without waste; such as the waste & ripoffs in.the present Medicare.system, which, amounts to over 12 to 15 Billion each year minimum;:, In addition, there will have to be a National Works' Program Implemented;,to put those that-cant find jobs back to work;,and get the infrastructure of this country-totally back to the level.it Should.be' in all states', coast, to coast Another thing that needs to-be investigated is the. Lottery 'ih all states, since these Were:suppose to take care of all. Education expense shortfalls.. Money..from the Casinos that- is taken in is enormous, for example, in the State Of Missouri, they supposedly paid over $239,000,000 in taxes;' I wonder where all this money-is really going,. not into.the programs it should,like Education, 'and Social Services it seems, The, Homeless situation needs to be addressed on a federal level, I think too, since the states have seemed to continue to ignore this problem, for the ,past 250r,30 years. It will be necessary to overall the entire Social Service System also; Welfare as it is now, needs a lot of overhauling, this can be done by meeting With all the governors' at once, and implementing changes that will 'benefit those that is really.need it,at the time they need have idea sort this too~.,I hope you read and follow through with this.,The Politicians do not understand that couples that wish to live together in a "LEGAL" fashion; whether it is called marriage, or just a !'Legal Union;'whereby these couples have all the legal'"rights that,so called "normal" male/female couples ,have. The Federal Government has no business trying to regulate this kind of thing;. this infringes on personal. rights Protected, by' the constitution; Give all those gay couples the right to Legal.Unions, so that that they have the,Protection under the law that the more conventional couples have. ,When we talk, about. national' security and we talk about unemployment, hammer on the fact that national security can be maximized AND the- issue ,unemployment can be resolved by rebuilding' American towns and cities. All the money,currently lathered on military spending could be-more then be well invested right here at home. There are so many important public improvements that cry for our attention ,and commitment from rebuilding roads, bridges; & railways to 'the erection of more mass transit systems; clinics,schools f and parks '... which takes lots of people and lots of hard work.lt's: how we.built this country; 'and it's how you create jobs! Note: by rebuilding, the infrastructure of.America,and arming American citizens al1 want a stronger economy; a better education and a much better health care system. We can stand up for ourselves against the challenges and oncoming external threats. The simplistic tactics of sending military troops in a dangerous mentality fashion, especially since troops in this, so called "war" are heavily populated with reservists who were, civilian parents torn ,from their spouses and children to fight this questionably urgent.military action; these troops are inadequately trained for this type of combat action. These are reservists., and National Guard,Troops should remain home, to ,Guard America, that is where they are needed,and should be used. We need 'a more intelligent, comprehensive, multifaceted{approach to~maximize national security that includes a plan to rebuild, strengthen. and maintain a strong America. If we can accomplish this we can then afford ,to be a strong ,international neighbor:and 'friend to:undeveloped countries. but let's do this with an example of how to achieve, and share the benefits of real freedom and democracy. In addition, somebody needs to question the Bush Administration regarding ' this; why didn't we destroy,the poppy fields in Afghanistan when we had the,chance?? Not only do these fields continue to' supply two thirds of the world's heroine, but they also, provide hundreds of millions.of dollars to the terrorists,. IT IS, TIME THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAD A REAL VOICE IN THIS COUNTRY, IF, they did and were the one's really deciding what happens in this country, then we would have a true democracy, and not just a republic, ruled by the rich, for the rich. One that is truly governed by the People (the other 85%). The time to stand up is now, if you agree with my ideas, then vote for John Edwards, as President, and Obama, as vice president....this is I predict the winning ticket, and the choice of the Democratic Party. WHY SHOULD THE RICH ALWAYS BE THE ONES THAT CONTROL AND RULE THE GOVERNMENT, WHEN IT IS THE MAJORITY THAT SHOULD BE RULING. I ASK THAT ALL THOSE HARD WORKING AMERICANS THAT WANT CHANGE, CHANGE THAT WILL FINALLY BENEFIT THEM, CHANGE THAT WILL FINALLY GIVE THEM SOMETHING BACK ON A PERSONAL LEVEL, FOR ALL THE TAX MONIES THEY PAY INTO THE SYSTEM. IT IS THE AMERICAN WORKER THAT HAS MADE THE COMPANIES RICH, IT IS THE AMERICAN WORKER'S SWEAT THAT HAS MADE THESE PEOPLE RICH. Are those that make truly enormous amounts of money, like corporate CEO's, and t.v. stars, and sports stars, who make millions of dollars a year, going to starve because they are finally paying their fare share? One that is making say 12 million a year, are they going to say they can't live on the remaining money they have after paying their fare share of taxes? This person who would now have to pay less than 2 million dollars now in taxes, would they say they can't live on the remaining $10 Million; Yeah, my heart bleeds for you people. It is TIME THAT THESE PEOPLE START PAYING THEIR FARE SHARE, THEY GET RICH OFF THE BACKS OF THEIR WORKERS, FANS, ETC.; SO LET'S TELL THEM, TO START PAYING WHAT THEY SHOULD BE PAYING. Regarding companies that are not making the amount of money they think they should be making, and want to move their business overseas, which usually translates to Profit Margins; will have to be addressed. Any time an American company thinks they want to mover their operation overseas, this should be stopped immediately. From now on they will have to apply to the Federal Government, and state clearly their exact reasons why they feel they need to do this. Then the Federal Government, should send in a team, maybe two or three individuals who are specialists in computers and number crunching, to see what can be done to save costs. For example in most cases where there are a number of vice presidents receiving absurd salaries, these individuals should be terminated, the U.S. Government runs with only one President, and One Vice President; so any company could run the same way. Then continue and go from there, to see what else is a problem, then come up with solutions, to save these jobs. There are always answers, usually relatively simple ones, that can be gleaned from using Common Sense, and Basic Intelligence; which the government, always seems to have a short supply of. ALL THOSE THAT AGREE WITH AT LEAST THE MAJORITY OF WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN HERE, SHOULD MAKE THEIR AGREEMENT KNOWN TO JOHN KERRY, AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WITH EMAILS AND LETTERS; AND ANY OTHER WAY THEY CAN. THIS IS OUR COUNTRY, OUR AMERICA, LET'S TAKE IT BACK, AND MAKE THIS COUNTRY GREAT AGAIN, MAKE IT THE COUNTRY THAT ALL OTHERS WILL ENVY, AND WANT TO EMULATE. LET'S ALL WORK TOGETHER, AND BE ONE ENTIRELY. LET'S GET AWAY FROM ALL THE INFIGHTING, AND LET'S RETURN TO THE WAY IT USE TO BE REGARDING ENGLISH AS THE PRINCIPAL LANGUAGE SPOKEN IS THIS COUNTRY. THIS IS NORTH AMERICA, IT WAS ALWAYS ENGLISH THAT WAS OUR LANGUAGE IN SCHOOLS, IN THE WORKPLACE, AND UNIFORMLY SPOKEN ACROSS AMERICA AS THE PRINCIPAL LANGUAGE- WE NEED TO RETURN TO THAT ONCE MORE. WE ARE ALL AMERICANS, NOT AFRICAN/AMERICAN, NOT SPANISH AMERICAN, NOT IRISH/AMERICAN, NOT A CHINESE/AMERICAN, NOT A GERMAN/AMERICAN..IF YOU WERE BORN HERE, OR BECAME A U.S. CITIZEN, THEN YOU ARE JUST AN "AMERICAN". . WITH NO ONE THINKING THEY ARE BETTER, WE ARE ALL "ONE", WE ARE ONE NATION UNDER GOD. Stop the fighting among ourselves, UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL. We have the strength to be so much more, we have the money to be so much more, it is time that money was used to make this country, and it's people Great once more. SO LET'S ALL STAND TOGETHER, AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR AMERICAN, AND OURSELVES, LET'S ALL PULL TOGETHER, AND PAY OUR FARE SHARE TO MAKEOUR COUNTRY TRULY THE BEST IN THE WORLD.. REMEMBER THE ONES WHO REALLY NEED THE CARE, THE OLD FOLKS; OF WHICH WE ALL WILL BE SOMEDAY THE ONES IN NURSING HOMES, BEING UNDERFED, UNDERCARED FOR, MISTREATED, ABUSED IT SHOULD NOT BENECESSARY FOR THESE PEOPLE TO SELL THEIR HOMES AND EVERYTHING, SO THEY CAN PLACE A PARENT, A HUSBAND OR WIFE, OR EVEN A CHILD, WHO REALLY NEEDS THIS KIND OF CARE TO GET IT THEY SHOULD GET IT, AND WILL GET IT, WITH THIS NATIONAL HEALTHCARE PROGREAM. UNDER THIS NATIONAL HEALTHCARE PROGRAM, ALL HOSPITALS, NURSING HOMES AND CLINICS WILL BE CHECKED EVERY 6 MOS. OR IF THEIR IS A MAJOR COMPLAINT AGAINST ANY HOSPITAL, OR NURSING HOME OR EVEN CLINICS. THERE SHOULD BE A NATIONAL HOTLINE IN PLACE THAT CLEARLY PUTS INFORMATION AT ANYONES FINGERTIPS REGARDING ANY DOCTOR OR OTHER HEAL THE CARE WORKER WHO HAS HAD ANY CHARGES OF MALPRACTICE, OR SIMILAR CHARGES PLACED AGAINST THEM, THE OUTCOME, AND THEIR STANDING IN THE NATIONAL HEAL THE CARE PROGRAM AT ANY GIVEN TIME INCLUDING IF THEY ARE ON PROBATION, BEEN REINSTATED OR TOTALLY OUTLAWED FROM PRACTICING MEDICINE, NOT ONLY IN THE STATE WHERE THE CHARGES STARTED, BUT IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES; SO THEY CANNOT EVER AGAIN HURT ANYONE. RIGHT NOW, THIS INFORMATION IS NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, NOR IS IT READILY AVAILABLE EVEN TO ALL THOSE THAT NEED TO BE AWARE OF IT IN THE MEDICAL FIELD, OR TO THE AUTHORITIES. YOUR MEDICAL IDENTIFICATION CARD WILL HAVE ALL PERTINENT INFORMATION ON IT, BLOOD TYPE, ANY ALLERGIES, ANY MEDICAL PROBLEMS, ANY MAJOR HEALTH CONDITIONS, SUCH AS HAVING A PACEMAKER, DIABETES, OR OTHER LIFE THREATENING CONDITION, THAT MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS NEED TO KNOW, BEFORE THEY PROVIDE ANY EMERGENCY TREATMENT. IT WILL ALSO HAVE A "KEY" TO ACCESS ALL YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS, WHICH CAN BE ACCESSED ONLY AFTER YOU SIGN A CONSENT FORM TO RELEASE THE REST OF YOUR PERSONAL MEDICAL INFORMATION THIS WILL HELP SAVE LIVES. ALSO ON THIS CARD WILL BE ANY CURRENT MEDICATIONS & DOSAGES ANY INDIVIDUAL IS TAKING, TO AVOID ANY PROBLEMS WITH OVERDOSING, OR CONFLICTS WITH ANY MEDICATIONS THEY MAY BE ON; AGAIN SAVING MANY LIVES NOTE: CORPORATIONS HAVE COMPLAINED FOR YEARS ABOUT THEIR MEDICAL INS. COVERAGE COSTS FOR EMPLOYEES FOR. WELL WITH THE NATIONAL HEALTH CARE PLAN THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY PRIVATE INS. COMPANIES EXPENSIVE PREMIUMS. IF THEY SIGN UP WITH THE NATIONAL PLAN, THEY WILL ONLY HAVE TO PAY 2% OF THEIR NET PROFIT INTO THE SYSTEM, TO HELP COVER COSTS OF THIS NATIONAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM; A REDUCTION OF AT LEAST 10% OR MORE OF THEIR PRESENT COSTS. MORE TO COME, be sure to check all the other pages here for more information, poems (to come) and other things of interest Thank You All; remember this is for US, this is for All Americans, this is for the UNITED STATES this is the right thing to do. John M. Roberts By the way this holds true for the National Health care Program too, their will be ONE UNIFORM FORM, WITH 5 COPIES BUilT IN, that will be used Nationwide in all hospitals, clinics, and doctor offices nationwide.
This will cut down confusion, it will save trees, and make things a lot easier, and more economical too. This is just one cost cutting measure that will be implemented. My other proposal will be to have all doctors, all hospitals, all clinics fill out information sheets, that will contain information such as the costs they encountered the past year, what they paid for implements, all the things they purchased to do their job, and what they charged their patients for these things, and services. A detailed report of what they charge for the various services and surgeries they perform. A full detailed report from all hospitals as to what they paid for everythign they use in the hospital, and what they charged for these same things, when billed to their patients and insurance companies. A full detailed report on salaries they paid to all of their employees, according to the position they have there. Then all this information will be fed into computers, to come up with the average charges they are paying and charging for all these things. Then the country will be divided into three regions, the East, the Midwest, and the West. Adjustments will be made for each region, and cost and charges for all services will be determined for all these services, so that we have a uniform service charge throughout the region. Once this has been done, under the National Health care Plan, these payments will be made according to the information we have determined for the "average" charges for each service or procedure. This will help control costs, as will bulk buying for each region. Now one of the key issues will be controlling the prescription drug costs, this can easily be done by contacting the major drug manufactures, and telling them you want to have the exact costs involved with each and every drug the manufacture; this won't be hard, they will have these figures on hand already. Now after compiling this information, they will send in , and once again we put the computers to work, comparing the costs on each and every drug. We then contact the drug manufactures and tell them what we feel is a fair price for each drug they sell. Now this will be for each drug company, who are in competition with each other. If they cooperate, we can split the buyng amongst them, if not, then one company may very well get the bulk of that business; leaving the other drug company to find some other outlet for the sale of their drugs. In other words, we now will have a large membership, I would guess somewhere around 143,000,000 people that will sign up for the National Healthcare Plan; this gives us the strength to negotiate fair prices therefore we control the costs. Now in closing, I feel that if those who at first thought my ideas were unfair to them, that these same people think of the country as a whole, and think of what is good for the country as a whole, what is good for the American people, what is good for America. Are they going to say; they don't want to see a National Healthcare Plan, that they don't want to see deficit cut down to a nondeficti situation, and start building a surplus again, within the first four years of a new administration? Are they going to say it would be wrong to start now, in rebuilding the country's infrastructure, to make sure all schools have the funding they need to provide the kind of education we should be providing to all who want it? Are they going to say, it is wrong to be part of the once again...GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD? The Republicans have put us so far into the deficit hole, it is unbelievable, and we as Americans, don't like being in the hole.. Give us the opportunity to make this country great again, give us the opportunity to put all Americans who want to work, to work as quickly as possible. Give us the opportunity to give the American People what they deserve--a true democracy, governed by the majority, a healthcare plan they can be proud of, a tax system that is finally fair for all. These things willi give this country pride, it will give Americans more money to spend, and they will be paying taxes also, they will be able to feed and clothe their families better, to enjoy life in the U.S. better; they will once again feel worth and pride in themselves, and in this country, Then we can go to work on rebuilding the way other countries view us. We are not the World Leader, as we once were; we need to be again. I have thoughts on these things too, as to what we need to do regarding this. I IMPLORE ALL AMERICANS TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, IT IS FOR THE GOOD OF AMERICA, AND ALL AMERICANS. IT IS WHAT WILL BEGIN TO PUT THIS COUNTRY BACK ON TOP ONCE MORE. SO LET'S PULL TOGETHER AMERICA, THINK UNITY, THINK WHAT IS BEST FOR ALL. Let's not waste time, we need to make these changes effective before mid 2008. I know the rich people out there will hate this, but it is not just their Country, it is Ours, we built it, with sweat, hard work, and they got rich on all our backs. THANK YOU. John M. Roberts |
