This is a proposal to provide health care by promoting volunteerism with tax reimbursement, and promoting the free market. This eliminates third party payers in many cases. We should provide direct access to doctors with tax refunds instead of increasing taxation. It will not be good for large corporations who are supporting current legislation for personal gain. This shrinks government and provides for citizens by government, drug companies, and insurance companies playing a smaller role.
I am not proposing my ideal. I am actually embracing much of what exists in regards to taxation which I oppose. This is however, what I see as a step in the right direction. We must pull to fix problems without the state. People fix problems, not money and not a broken system.
The first element would be something you have heard much of. Eliminate patents, copyrights and all other mandates. This all relies on moving towards a free market to make an effort to begin to drive down prices.
The second part addresses those who are not able to pay. I promote volunteerism. We are to be personally responsible about issues such as this. If government must have a say, I propose a way that is temporary and can lead to a state free system of care for all. Let us estimate and say that most people of higher incomes pay about 33% of their income to the Federal and State government. If we look at 30% of one’s income that is approximately 4 months of work. If we begin to give that money back to the doctors for volunteering as compensation we would see Doctors giving more time to the needy, and working less for a larger net income. Who looses? Well, government bureaucracies loose of course. Government is what we need less of. Do it with every position in a hospital, and build charity hospitals all over with this simple concept. Open it to private practices, and also to hospitals etc to make back their taxes in compensation for taking care of those who need it. This means less taxes, more income and less government has just taken care of the needy. This can extend to the janitors, nurses, maintenance and even materials needed. By extending to materials we can see many companies receiving tax breaks and more work paid for without dipping into anyone’s money. This is not the best solution, realistically we will need to phase out the compensation and the element of taxation completely from our society, and do so without incentives, but I feel that is far off. Until then we can give some people their taxes back and make their annual income increase by helping the community and addressing the problem.
A concept like this will make it possible to begin phasing out medicaid and medicare because we can create new options and have health care to fall back on.
Charity and personal responsibility should be something we as free citizens should have in order to keep the freedom we possess. This eliminates the voice that attempts to take federal & state power by exploiting the needy and situations that are not ideal.
Congress will not look at a concept like this because they will not profit from this idea. They will not be able to expand the size and power of government it will only shrink government and corporate powers they enable by addressing the problem at hand. The problem is government and we will eliminate that problem by our actions and how we live our lives ultimately not by asking them nicely to leave us alone.
It is my deisre to take this model and use it to eliminate Medicade and Medicare, and use this as a tool to begin to shrink government presence all around.
