There's a reason for Medicare as it is.
INSURANCE COMPANIES WON'T INSURE OLD PEOPLE!

--------------------------------------------------------

Health care reform will require legislation that requires private
insurers to cover the elderly without prejudice.
The government's role won't be to dole out the payments anymore. It
will be to oversee the industry
and establish approved procedures and costs that hospitals and doctors
can order and charge for.

In Switzerland, health insurers are required to offer the same decent
coverage plan to everyone at a fixed price and if they do they are
allowed to offer supplemental programs. The premiums for the decent
coverage are subsidized if the individual cannot afford. Enrollment in
mandatory. That's about the only way to continue with private insurers.
If it were up to me, I'd get rid of private insurers...they serve no
useful purpose.

I'm not sure Switzerland is an appropriate system to cite. Their
economy isn't real, in addition to the funny money stuff that goes on
there, I'm not sure they're not still opening long forgotten safe
deposit boxes of Jews gold fillings to prop up their economy. The
poor are largely subsidized by the state in Switzerland because they
cannot abide people being destitute.

Nice system if you can afford it.

We, the citizens of the USA, can't afford our system. It is about to
collapse from the weight of entitlements.
