Health Care Basics

Health Care Basics is a conservative way to provide health care to the uninsured. The democrats are socialist and they want socialized medicine. The plans put forth by Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards would just grow government and cost the tax payers trillions of dollars. There plans are so convoluted that you will need Professor Stephen Hawking to decipher them.

Health Care Basics is the answer. When I was in the Army, we use to go to Triage centers or what some call sick bays. We would go there when we were sick and get checked out and if it was really serious they would send us to the main hospital. Ninety percent of the time they treated you at the triage center. I remember one time I had an allergic reaction to a flu shot. My whole face was swole and I went to the triage center and they gave me a shot of benadryl and I laid there for an hour. They sent me back to the barracks after the swelling went down and they gave me two days off. Health Care Basics would set up triage centers all across America. Prevention is 90% of the problem. Many of the uninsured don't go to the hospital until there extremely sick because they don't have insurance. Health Care Basics would give the uninsured their basic health care needs and here's how.

1. The uninsured would be charged 5 dollars a month and this 5 dollars would cover up to a family of four. They will be charged a dollar for each additional family member. This will be run by private companies and it will create a new industry. These private companies could not dictate what tests or services that could be administered. If 40 million of the uninsured were to pay the 5 dollars a month that would create a 2.4 billion dollar a year industry. Companies could offer incentives to attract their business. A person could come in just to get a quick physical check up or say if someone hits their head very hard, they would come to the triage center and get x-rays. If the Examiner thought it was serious he could send the patient over to the main hospital for an MRI. They would then send the results back to the triage center.

2. A Health Care Basics charity would be set up. The people like Clinton and Obama can hold fundraisers for the charity and this would raise millions of dollars. These funds will help run the triage centers and they would be ran by private management companies.

3. You can use pre-existing buildings to convert into triage centers. There's no need for any new construction. In my city a major medical building just closed down and that could be used as a triage center.

4. Government would only provide oversight to the triage centers and the charity. That's it. There's no need fr the government to do anything else.

This way you provide the uninsured with their basic health care needs and you don't have to tax people to death and you don't have to grow the government. The government is already bogged down with entitlement spending and universal health care would be a HUGE undertaking. I truly believe that the democrats try to appeal to your emotion in order to suspend your reason. Their true motive is to get your money, spend it and then borrow us into oblivion.

Health Care Basics is the conservative way to help those without insurance get their basic health care needs. We will get doctors to come up with a list of basic health care services that will be adminstered by our Examiners. These services will help with prevention and people can visit these triage centers as many times as they need to.
