Health Insurance

Introducing the Private Option Health Care Act

by Ron Paul

Most everyone agrees that health care in the United stated has major problems, the biggest problems relating to skyrocketing costs. No one doubts the system is in need of reform. However, too many in Washington see tighter government controls as the solution. In fact, the problems are rooted in past government controls that created more problems than they solved.

Ironically, laws and policies in the 1970s promoting health maintenance organizations, resulted from desperate attempts to control spiraling costs. However, instead of promoting an efficient health care system, HMOs took far too much control away from patients and physicians and gave it to the insurers. This excessive reliance on third-party payers instead removed incentives for insured patients to economize on health care costs, and allowed the problem to snowball. Furthermore, the third-party payer system created a two-tier health care system where people whose employers could afford to offer Cadillac plans have access to top quality health care, while others face financial obstacles in obtaining quality health care.

For these and other reasons I introduced the Private Option Health Care Act last week. This bill places individuals back in control of health care by replacing the recently passed “tax, spend, and regulate” health care law with reforms designed to restore a free-market health care system.

First, the bill would provide all Americans with a tax credit for 100% of health care expenses. This tax is fully refundable against both income and payroll taxes. It would also allow individuals to roll over unused amounts in cafeteria plans and flexible savings accounts. Next, it would provide a tax credit for premiums for high deductible insurance policies connected with a health savings account and allow seniors to use funds in HSAs to pay for “Medigap” policies. In addition, it would repeal the 7.5% threshold for the deduction of medical expenses and thus make all medical expenses tax-deductible.

The Private Option Health Care Act allows Congress to correct the mistake it made last month by replacing the new health care law with health care measures that give control to individuals instead of the federal government and corporations. Our health is too vital to allow for the typical government interference and fixes.

The Medical tourism was arranged by a medical tourism organization and proved to be the best way to handle unanticipated concerns such as understanding the best location for good pricing as well as the best locations for the medical work to be done, air travel, medical records transfer, and Indian visa to mention a few. After a couple of years of searching the internet and even driving 1,000 miles a week round trip for 6 weeks to Mexico to get affordable dental work done. I could have saved thousands of dollars even over going to Mexico had I known about India earlier, and would have had better care at better facilities. Of course, now, as a result, I have friends in India, especially Dr Palak Pandya, my Dentist and Dr Ayyappan, a Plastic Surgeon. As I get older I’m sure knowing Dr Ayyappan will be of benefit… Dr Ayyappan, a Yoga
practitioner and meditator (something we had in common), mentioned that he had worked in Hong Kong as part of his background (see: http://indiaheartbeat.com/doctor/profile.php?profile=OTI4NQ==
as a plastic surgeon before returning to India, which allowed me to understand that the International Standards employed in other parts of the world are present here as well.

Here is a link to an interview with Dr Palak Pandya:

All in all it proved to me that I don’t have to pay more to get good quality health care – the US Medical System should take note, it would be almost cheaper to fly large a percentage of the Patients in US Hospitals to India, get treatment, and fly them back, than to pay even the admissions costs of getting them treated in the United States. If this sounds like an exaggeration look at it a little closer. Bureaucracy , Profit and Tort reform are in the way of cheaper health care in America.

It seems so easy for America to be heartless to it’s poor and uninsured, they breath the same dirty air, eat the same nutrient deficient foods and get the same maladies as the rest the American population and yet their vote does not count, their needs are glossed over and ignored. Whether
the foot, the hand or the head the body of America needs help.

“Hey America, How About US”
