Here's a health reform plan that is absolutely free:
Stop smoking; stop taking drugs, including nonessential prescription medicines; stop drinking alcohol (using the grain will feed all the homeless, and the starving people, too); stop ingesting caffeine; stop chasing the dollar and get a non-stress lifestyle; stop having sex outside of marriage.Enforce prohibitions on second-hand smoke indoors; enforce tough DUI laws; enforce tough family protection and all assault laws; enforce tough air and water pollution standards; start wearing seat belts and motorcycle helmets; exercise regularly; maintain a good low-fat diet; take care of your own children and infirm parents.
Start community care programs staffed with volunteers; encourage and help fund private research in all types of medical projects - traditional and nontraditional; provide government assistance to open more medical schools so we educate a glut of doctors instead of lawyers; get government out of medicine except for research and education; get proper rest.
Tell President Clinton, and her husband, to get a life and leave us alone. And when they say it is all going to be free because business will pay for it, remind them that we buy the products business sells, which raises all of our costs of living.
There is a true medical reform plan. You'll live longer. Government will cost less, leaving you with less stress and more money. Of course if what you meant by health reform was trying to find a way for you to get something for nothing by getting someone else to pay your way, then that's different.
