FAIR HEALTH PLAN-PRESS RELEASE

 

 

 

11 SEP 2008

 

1. This plan agrees with Sen. John McCain’s plan on many fronts: portability, guaranteed access, affordability, tort reform and transparency. Will Breazeale has worked hard with research and interviews conducted all over District 7. Interviews were conducted with hospital CFOs, physicians, patients, the poorest of Americans, the middle class and business owners. This plan has chosen a different and unique way to fund and fix our health care problems.

2. This plan also acknowledges our government’s need to eliminate the $75 Trillion budget deficit ($9 Trillion direct and $66 Trillion of unfunded promises).

 

PLAN:

 

16% GNP to 9% GNP for Health Care NOW!

-$2 Trillion is spent every year on our health care. (16% of our Gross Domestic Product). With cost savings listed below, we can finally reduce this cost to 9% of GDP!

 

HOW???

 

-Health Care Insurance Company Competition

-The government can create competition among private health care companies by dividing the country into 10 regions for a bidding war to cover the uninsured and underinsured with huge contracts awarded to a private companies. Competition ALWAYS lowers costs!

 

-Privately Administered, Government Awarded Contracts

-The government awards the contracts by regions to the low bidder, but the Private Insurance Company like Aetna, Blue Cross, etc., will ADMINISTER the program. The government will never run an efficient health care system like a private company can. This lowers costs!

 

-Lawsuit Reform

-The government will mandate that EVERY state will form an independent commission to review medical lawsuits before they go to trial. ANY lawsuit that is classified as frivolous and loses in court, will force the losing side to pay ALL lawyer and court costs for both sides. Frivolous lawsuits will go away overnight. This lowers costs!

 

-No More Emergency Room Abuse

-Anyone using the Fair Health plan will have to pay a $500 deductible for non-emergency use of any emergency room before being seen. This will end emergency room abuse which will lower costs and keep more emergency rooms open. This lowers costs!

 

-Rewards for Wellness

-Anyone meeting the Presidential Council for Physical fitness goals for their age and gender will be charged 9% less for their health insurance costs. This rewards wellness and reduces costs to the patient and insurance company!

 

-No More Free Care for Illegal Immigrants

-The health care bill for illegal immigrants is estimated to be 15% of our total health care costs. The Fair Health plan will finally collect premiums from illegal immigrants for their health care while calling for a direct deduction for all costs from their country of origin’s foreign aid. This lowers costs!

 

-Level Playing Field for Businesses

-The Fair Health plan will take health care concerns off the table for businesses who cannot afford health insurance for their employees. This will allow recruitment of talented people for all businesses and make it easier to start a small business with less capital investment. Our citizens have to be healthy to get a job. Covering all 47 Million uninsured Americans will create a healthier workforce for business.

 

-Complete Portability

-The Fair Health plan AUTOMATICALLY insures someone the day they lose their job. No more expensive COBRA. The Fair Health plan also insures ALL pre-existing conditions as well as covering dental and vision needs.

 

-Choice

-Want to purchase health insurance on your own, use your company health care or use your Health Savings Account? Fine! You can opt out of the Fair Health plan at any time!

 

-National Health Care Sales Tax for Uninsured-9% vs. 8%

-Paying for it!!! EVERY person living in the United States will be charged an additional 9% on everything new item or service they buy for the Fair Health plan UNLESS they prove with a biometric card or a fingerprint reader linked to a database that they have their own health insurance.

 

-Elimination of Medicaid saving $Billions!

-Fair Health makes it possible to eliminate Medicaid as we know it saving our government billions of dollars. Employers or states can help lower income people pay some of the 9 or 8% Fair Health tax with a system of prebates.

 

3. This is a REAL and creative plan. McIntyre’s plan is too general and lacks vision. Questions and comments are always welcome and considered! Call 910-409-7023 or email will@awilltowin.com.
