Transformation Die VA Into A Pro-Wachstumsmodell für First Rate Health Care
Show
the VA ( Veterans Administration ) scandals why so many people have so
very motivated for so long to fight against Obamacare . This is because of the perfectly rational fear that Obamacare case
will end up on the entire American health care system , what the VA has
done to health care for veterans in America.
Many have already commented that the VA system is actually pure socialized medicine . The government has not only pay for health care or health insurance under the system for our nation's veterans . The government actually builds and owns the hospitals and their clinics, and hires the doctors and nurses who serve as state employees . The government finances then the operation of these facilities directly itself actually providing health care. Those who go for VA benefits then this state institutions to obtain their health care .
This is basically how the notorious British National Health Service ( NHS ) works . I say notorious because the National Health Service is responsible for leading a strict rationing system , with the government determine who gets what and health care when , and deciding who is said when its time to go home and die. In my book, 2011, I proposed that the British National Health Service is likely responsible for the deaths of more British subjects when the Nazis and Adolf Hitler. But a thorough investigation would be necessary to document that .
The NHS do not do this out of malice . He does it because , if the government tax free health care , there must be some means to control costs . With no market prices , incentives, or competition to control costs, the only option for the government is to decide if the money train stops at the station to get something released. Ironically, a system supposedly originally thought , so everyone could get health care is an institutionalized means for deciding when a number of health care will be denied.
The British take the cold, calculating , healthcare rationing the NHS because of a social belief that it is necessary to get for all to health care. That is blinded because competition and market incentives in health care the same work as for everything else. But if social mores prevent someone from suffering the status quo and alternatives from being considered , the people and the society. That's essentially the same social process in general , which many societies around the world without stagnating economic growth for centuries going back to the Dark Ages left. British health care could ultimately by starting social experiments with Health Savings Accounts , eyes opening hours of social teachings would be released .
America VA, ruled with all market prices, incentives and competition from the system operates with similar health rationing. The VA is a " global budget " is given each year to spend it on health care for veterans of our nation and no longer can . With the prices or competition for all in the system to can weigh the costs versus benefits , the only way the total cost of the essentially free health care within that budget be held is to refuse to care by a form of rationing for the VA bureaucracy. This is achieved mainly provided in America social mores with long waiting times for the free health care for veterans VA to deny effective or at least stretched health care costs.

That's
why Larry Kudlow is right when he says in his May 23 column , " The VA
problem is not Shinseki , it is socialism. " That's why America VA
operates as socialized medicine systems of Great Britain, Canada and
continental Europe with long delays
for the sick, the necessary health care and other bureaucratic means of
reducing access to quality health care to control costs received
(again, without consumer choice and competition in the market in order
to control costs, there must be some means to reduce the cost be to control ) . These problems are so serious that dozens of veterans are now
documented to have suffered due to lack of health care and the full
scope of the problem premature deaths , may include been the same for
many.The problem is not insufficient spending on trying the VA, the socialist Democrats to argue . As John Merline reported Investor's Business Daily on May 20, 2000 to 2013 VA spending nearly tripled , while the population of veterans fell by 4.3 million euros . Moreover, as Michael Tanner of the Cato Institute reported 344,000 veterans - care claims are now backed up and waiting to be processed . But it takes 160 days , nearly half a year , for the health benefits approval. For those who take a decision , the wait is 1598 days , or more than four years.
Forbes ' own Avik Roy in his thorough May 23 column explains how America fell into the VA experiment with socialized medicine . The roots of the VA go all the way back to 1827 , before the modern American health care system had even developed . So the federal government has itself had to homes for disabled war veterans , and institutions that establish provide more rudimentary health care of the time.
By the end of World War II , the VA was responsible for a growing population , including aging veterans veterans from the First World War as well . These people flooded the available health at the time. So the VA is taking the burden of rapidly expanding the supply of hospitals, clinics and medical facilities. From 1930 to 1947, the number of VA hospitals more than doubled , 54-120 . Today, the VA maintains and operates 153 hospitals and medical usually with 300,000 employees is the second largest department of the federal government.
But America's private health care system is all grown up now , and the best in the world by far in my opinion, in providing critical health care for the sick. Just think of preterm infants , and the wonders of America's health care system reaches born with those less than a foot long , and less than a pound in weight . No other country even really trying to save these newborns most at risk today. But in America, they are now stored almost routinely , to grow up and lead a normal life . Or compare the health and the survival and recovery rates of America's seniors with those of the same age in any other country .
Now America's veterans would do much better in this same private health care system , along with all the others. This can be by sharing the VA budget in equal parts for each veteran , and free them to use these amounts to be achieved the purchase of private health insurance of their choice. This would include Health Savings Accounts (HSA ) , to maximize the patients about their own health care freedom of choice and control and their own health care dollars . Such HSAs are also the only innovation of health policy, to control themselves as health care costs in the real world , without a third party authorized to deny health care to patients .
Similar reforms can and should be extended in order to liberate the poor on Medicaid to get a better health insurance and care of their choice. Global grants from federal Medicaid funds back to the states , which were so successful in the reform of the old New Deal , Help for Families with Dependent Children program ( AFDC ) in 1996 , was while he at the states broad authority to Medicaid to accepted best reform the poor in their state. Each state could then experiment with the provision of the poor vouchers which could be used to help pay for the health insurance of their choice , including HSAs again . The voters of the individual states would then decide how much should the help given on any income level to ensure that the poor would be able to purchase essential health insurance.
Some states may choose to make their Medicaid programs reform done mainly focusing on the provision of the poor on Medicaid with HSA , as Indiana has recently. Or they focus more on the cover could the poor with managed care programs, such as Rhode Iceland has done recently . Or they could have the choice to leave all to every poor family. The important point is that a wide range of possibilities exist for the states , the poor much better access to basic health care as a Medicaid currently , as both Indiana and Rhode Iceland have made to ensure with a more efficient control of Medicaid spending .
Such reforms should be expanded to include the replacement of Obamacare with much wider benefits. Since Obamacare is not only a serious threat to the quality and supply of American health care. It is also a great burden on the American economy , imposed primarily on the costly regulatory burdens through the program , and the perverse incentives involved counterproductive .
The employer task is essentially the source of the problem . The mandate increases the cost of employment, and the result is less of it. This effect is demanded by the high cost of health insurance , the Obama Care law tightened to fulfill the mandate . This is in the process of procurement costs, even for employers who already offer health insurance for their employees.
President Obama recognizes this , which is why it is required by law , unilaterally and without legal authority delayed implementation of the employer mandate of ObamaCare, for years. He knows , in fact, that the high costs of the employer mandate Obamacare is perverse and counterproductive cause millions , the employer , the health insurance they have to lose .
Since employers and the labor market to plan ahead , we have already seen real world impact of this problem. Since the employer mandate applies only to full-time employment of 30 hours per week or more , millions of workers have already seen their hours cut back to part -time work under 30 hours per week threshold. And millions of others already did force out of work, because they are given to the search for work. All of this is reported in the monthly Bureau of Labor Statistics, documented. The real world effects can also be greatly lagging U.S. economic growth we have seen now long suffered under Obama , as the economy never fully recovered overdue by the recession , which is now based on the American historical record years .
This means that Obamacare rooted reforms , the most important pro-growth effects would have to be replaced , stimulating the economy, the world 's leading returning economic growth and wealth in America deep heritage. Such reforms are necessary, but also to Obamacare deterioration in single payer , socialized medicine, similar to the VA to avoid , regardless of the stupid feelings favoring well that we hear from Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and other " progressives . " This can be done during more safely achieve the original goal of ObamaCare is to health care for all.
Even the Congressional Budget Office , which we too easily forget , is a bastion of the Washington establishment , has always provided that Obamacare does not reach anywhere near universal coverage , estimates that 30 million still not be insured , 10 years after the reaction is complete ! For a careful , reasoned observer , it is not even clear whether Obamacare so far rather than reducing increasing the number of uninsured, as millions have already lost their health insurance, to come up with millions more if the employer mandate is implemented , in particular aside from just expanding Medicaid , which adds even more unmanageable , long-term claim costs.
By extending similar reforms that the suggested above both the VA and Medicaid to the exchange of Obamacare , we can , in fact, assure health care for all , without an individual mandate , a mandate employer , greatly reducing regulatory burdens more broadly, and trillion in reduced federal spending and taxes over the years. , For a long time to use John Goodman , president of the National Center for Policy Analysis for universal health care for all tax credit that anyone could to make the purchase of private health insurance of their choice. This would mean extending the currently provided only for employers that provide health insurance for all tax preference. He is now in favor of a credit of $ 2,500 per person per year , which would not fully fund essential health insurance , but also provide assistance and an incentive for them , as well as the tax preference for employer provided health insurance not fully finances, but offer help and effective incentive for them.
The credit can be used by those on Medicaid to get out of it will opt for private health insurance of their choice , including HSAs . Accompanying it can be used to decide in Medicaid coverage for any pre-existing conditions will insure is always available. Asked those employers available coverage can still get the credit for alternative private coverage of their choice , if they prefer , including HSAs again . This does not provide the working people with a critical check and balance on their employers assured access to health care of their choice , even if their employer plan. For each worker who do not buy , lending to private coverage , which for the year goes to needy nursing facilities in the surroundings of the employee $ 2,500.
Along with Medicaid block grants to the states , states could use in part to for the uninsured to finance uninsurable risk pools , such reforms would assure practicable, the health care for all. At the same time , these reforms would broadly pro- growth. Without employer mandate requiring the purchase of very expensive health insurance for each employee , the labor costs would be significantly reduced , thus more jobs and higher wages. There would be an incentive for people to work again no longer part-time hours are cut . The elimination of costly Obamacare regulatory requirements for insurance companies, together with the wider availability of KostenreduktionsHSAs to reduce unnecessary health care costs, further boosting the economy with an effective tax reduction for all . Would improve reducing taxes and government spending because of Obamacare trillion over the next years economic growth and general prosperity for all. Republicans in Congress are currently the development of such an alternative to Obamacare.
All of these comprehensive health care exemption from the VA , Medicaid, to Obamacare , would ultimately better health care for all , along with helping to restore economic growth and prosperity and represent the American dream.
