There has been a lot of commentary recently about the government health plan and death panels deciding who should or should not receive medical treatment depending on a variety of conditions.
Isn't that what the health insurance companies and HMO's do now? Don't they tell their customers what procedures are covered and which are not, forcing the client to either pay out of pocket or do without?
It appears to me that the so called government plan is following the practice currently in place. Some procedures will be paid for some not. In other words, the government insurance plan will follow the same guidelines as the private health insurance company guidelines.
Rather than go off in a temper tantrum about the government imposing restrictions, the all knowing commentators for the news networks should be offering a way that all insurance companies will cover all procedures, rather than attack the unofficial government plan for having limits.
True health care reform needs to take away limitations from all plans. The plans need to offer the same coverage, then the premium battles can begin.
If this "reform" is truly going to work, then all the providers need to provide the best available coverage and treatment for their customers.
Its Common Sense!
