Health care - How to change and improve health care

Improving health care systems, here's a reply:

Sure Micah, here is my take on the health care system in the U.S....

I see the problem with our health care system being a matter of prioritizing where the government spends its overly-bloated budget. We could cut our military budget in half, stop building an empire, bring our troops home from the 100+ countries where we maintain bases and then use that extra money (estimated at ONE TRILLION annually) to improve our health care system provide care for those that can't afford it themselves.

We should get rid of insurance companies (middle men) and allow practitioners to charge patients directly. The new health care system should be run by the free market, not the government, as the government is horribly inefficient and wasteful in every endeavor it attempts. The current tax system or postal service are a few examples of how well the government runs things.

We should also legalize marijuana and stop prescribing pharmaceuticals for every little ailment.

The incentive system needs to be overhauled so that doctors aren't prescribing uneccessary and highly addictive drugs just to increase their monthly take home pay.

Ending the failed war on drugs would also free up hundreds of millions from the government budget that could go towards health care prevention and education, which would produce a positive ROI by decreasing the number of sick people needing care.

If people learn about nutrition and exercise at a young age and aren't raised on McDonalds and PlayStation, we will have fewer people needing medical care, thus reducing the cost to society and opening up the health care centers and hospitals for those that truly need them.

I realize these changes aren't politically popular and would certainly ruffle the feathers of the pharmaceutical and insurance industries. But it would allow us to improve our health care system and provide care for those in need without increasing taxes or walking further down the road of socialization.
