It should be nored that all of the members of the AMA are doctors, who are wealthy and don’t have to worry about paying for health care. Hmmm… And the Republicans – the traditional “Rihc White Man’s Party” – is opposed to the public health insurance option. And insurance companies, who make billions of dollars every year from (over)charging for health insurance premiums, are opposed to it…
I could be wrong, but I believe that the number of voters who can’t afford health insurance is much larger than the number of voters who got fat and stay fat on the backs of the current private insurance system.

I sit on the board with Utah association of Health underwriters and http://www.BenefitsManager.net for health insurance reform. Several interesting changes took place with H.B. 188 passage earlier this year that seems all too familiar on the federal level. The spirit of the bill allows private market place remedies. It essentially guarantees insurance providers a “no loss” or “no gain” over competing carriers in the insurance exchange portal which is http://www.UtahInsuranceExchange.info. On the surface it seems not to be attractive to participating carriers (voluntary at this point). But you have to understand the carriers’ goal is to cover their administration fees. That can be accomplished now. The other half of the equation is providers and their billing practices that need to be reformed. That is on the agenda. Keep an eye on Utah because the national health care debate seems much the same ground we have already covered.
In http://www.UtahInsuranceExchange.info which is the beginning of a state sponsored program addresses issues on a local state level that the federal level might look at. Coming from an underwriting background I know where the dime falls. I am of the opinion that large waste occurs from providers billing for procedures that developed “no outcome”. Insurance carriers are not the only bad guys on the block. In most of our purchasing decisions….don’t we pay ONLY when we know that we will get a desired outcome? Why is it if you ask the doctor how much this test or procedure is he doesn’t know? Shouldn’t providers be held to a transparent cost standard?
