Medical professionals not insurance company bureaucrats should be making health care decisions.
When President Obama passed health care reform it was personal! And when Governor Romney says he would repeal Obamacare and put insurance companies back in charge of a woman's health that's personal too.
But you say does it represent change? The change is that we are fighting an insurance industry that has killed health reform for generations. They're spending tens of millions of dollars right now to defeat this bill and we're on the doorstep of winning a great victory for the American people.
Left to ourselves we might pick the wrong health insurance the wrong mortgage the wrong school for our kids why unless they stop us we might pick the wrong light bulb.
I'd like to see the health care professionals making decisions not some bureaucrat in Indianapolis working for an insurance company.
Today we have a health insurance industry where the first and foremost goal is to maximize profits for shareholders and CEOs not to cover patients who have fallen ill or to compensate doctors and hospitals for their services. It is an industry that is increasingly concentrated and where Americans are paying more to receive less.
Each State has its own health insurance mandates and some of them are good but there are about 1 800 of them all across the Nation including provisions for acupuncturists massage therapists and hair replacements.
I'm happy that I feel a little less out of place in filmmaking than I once was - but it's almost impossible for a playwright in the U.S. to make a living. You can have a play like I did with 'Angels ' and it still generates income for me but it's not enough for me to live on and have health insurance.
Under the Healthy Americans Act you're in charge of your health care - not your employer. If you lose your job change jobs or just can't find a job your health insurance is guaranteed to stick with you.
If you like the health insurance that you have you should be able to keep it but if you don't like the health insurance you have you should be able to choose something else.
