To the President, the U.S. Senate, and the U.S. House of Representatives:
I support the repeal of the Affordable Care Act (Obama
Care). I believe that the American
public would be best served if the private sector can provide health insurance
to our citizens in a free market environment; subject to the following:
1) Tort
law reform to lower liability risk, and therefore insurance costs, to health
care providers.
2) Interstate
sale of health insurance plans to lower the cost of health insurance premiums
for individuals and groups.
3) “Health
care insurance” should include coverage for vision and dental treatment and for
prescriptions.
4) No
preexisting health conditions should bar the purchase of health care plans or increase
their cost.
5) No
lifetime limits on claims.
6) Continuance
of Medicare and Medicaid programs in their present form; except the “spend
down” of resources for long term care under Medicaid.
7) Provision
of a mandatory long-term care program payroll contribution for a “single payer”
long term care insurance program for all citizens.
8) Prohibition
of the provision of health care services to indigent non-citizens who are in
the United States illegally.
9) Persons
18 years of age and older should be responsible to purchase their own health
care insurance. They should be allowed
to remain insured by their parents if they remain in college or trade school
after graduation from high school, or unless they are eligible for Medicare or
Medicaid.
10) All U.S. Citizens should be required to carry
health care insurance.
Thank you for considering my suggestions. Please work toward accessible and affordable
health care or all U.S. citizens.
