We have heard about many plans that are out there and we all have opinions on what we would do to reform health care. Let's start out a simple discussion of what is wrong with our current health care system and what we could do to reform it (or leave it as is).

This discussion was initially restricted to what was wrong with the system. It has now been expanded to include how to fix what is wrong.



I'll start with some things that I see as wrong (in no particular order):

1) People needing treatment can't always get it because they can't afford it or the insurance company says sorry we won't pay.
2) Costs are so high that a single medical emergency can put a family in massive debt for their entire life.
3) People are afraid of these costs that many times they won't get help for something minor which escalates into something major.
4) Doctors and institutions who are honestly working twoard helping individuals have to fear getting sued.
