To hell with consensus. Allow more personal choice and reform medical liability torts. I have a high deductible insurance policy and a medical IRA. I pay cash for medical services, and I get reimbursed by the IRA up to the level of my deductible. Whatever I don't use gets saved and invested tax free. I find that when I pay cash, I usually get about a 20% discount off my bill.

One change I would make is to allow individuals get the same tax deduction for buying insurance that only employers get now.

Assuming Obamacare gets enacted.

I like the idea of getting rid of farm subsidies so much, I think we should just eliminate them immediately.

The best practices when? This proposal will freeze innovation. Every new procedure started out as experimental and outside the existing knowledge base.

What kind of reforms. That's a really vague proposal.

Those items should be paid for out of a medical IRA. Insurance should be reserved for extraordinary expenses like cancer, heart disease or trauma. Imagine how expensive automobile insurance would be if oil changes and fuel were included.

The UK has a serious shortage of dentists. There are actually news articles about people using do-it-yourself dentistry and using pliers to pull out teeth. I've read where UK dentists will pull out all of a patient's teeth and fit dentures rather than try to save the healthy teeth.

I want my health care professionals working form my interests, not an unaccountable government bureacracy.

What about medical privacy? Who has access to these records? I'm all for efficiency and quick retrieval, but I don't trust the federal government to possess them.

Doesn't Singapore have that requirement?

That would be great, but there would have to be an airtight way of keeping the trial layers from bypassing the system.

Why should an insurance company cover a pre-existing condition for someone who has no previous insurance? No auto insurance company would let you make a claim on a car that was damaged prior to the insurance policy being in force.

If you have continuous coverage, perhaps there should be a way of switching companies.
