Health Care
“DO NO HARM”
Dr. Ron Paul spent his entire career in the medical profession working to uphold this simple principle by ensuring his patients received the best care he could give them, even if they could not afford it.
Dr. Paul understands the key to effective and efficient medical care is the doctor-patient relationship. Yet, federal bureaucrats continue to believe that their one-size-fits-all policies will lower costs, increase access, and cure an ailing industry.
Instead, excessive regulation, immoral mandates, and short-sighted incentives have created a system where no one is happy, doctors pass quickly from one patient to the next, insurance is expensive to get and difficult to maintain, and politicians place corporate interests ahead of their constituents.
FREEDOM NOT FORCE
The answer to our nation’s health care crisis lies in freedom – not force.
As President, Ron Paul will fight to put you back in control of your health care decisions, save you money on medical expenses, and institute reforms that will once again make America’s health care system the standard for other nations to follow.
He will work with Congress to:
* Repeal ObamaCare and end its unconstitutional mandate that all Americans must carry only government-approved health insurance or answer to the IRS.
* Allow purchase of health insurance across state lines.
* Provide tax credits and deductions for all medical expenses.
* Exempt those with terminal illnesses from the employee portion of payroll taxes while they are suffering from such illnesses or are incurring significant medical costs associated with their conditions.
* Give a payroll deduction to any worker who is the primary caregiver for a spouse, parent, or child with a terminal illness.
* Ensure that those harmed during medical treatment receive fair compensation while reducing the burden of costly malpractice litigation on the health care system by providing a tax credit for “negative outcomes” insurance purchased before medical treatment.
* Guarantee that what is taken from taxpayers to pay for Medicare and Medicaid is not raided for other purposes.
* Make all Americans eligible for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and remove government-imposed barriers to obtaining HSAs.
* Stop the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from interfering with Americans’ knowledge of and access to dietary supplements and alternative treatments.
* Prevent federal bureaucrats from tracking every citizen’s medical history from cradle to grave by prohibiting the use of taxpayer funds for a national database of personal health information.
Ron Paul proudly worked every day to honor the trust his patients placed in him, and he will do the same as President with the confidence of the American people, who deserve a government that “does no harm” to their health care.
Quoting FromAtoZ:Okay.
How much would insurance cost for someone who does not receive it through their employer?
And those that do have health insurance through their employers, will the outrageous cost to cover a family be reduced somehow?
His plan will drive health care costs down, but he cannot predict the cost (no one can). His premise is that when the government "pays" for something (and I put pays in quotes because they don't really pay for anything, the tax payer does), that it drives the cost up. When the money being spent is essentially not yours, a person tends to spend it more liberally. Obviously a family would pay for their own insurance - if they choose to do that - but insurance and health care will eventually go down as a result of the free market. There is substantial economic proof to support this. Here's a model about how Ron Paul's ideas would work in real life:
DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY!
Because, that's basically is his plan.
Quoting Donna6503:
You know people would better understand his plan, if he broke it down to its simplify form:
DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY!
Because, that's basically is his plan.
No it isn't .... here's another example of how it works in the practical sense.

Ron Paul has the most integrity & guts than anyone else running. He would be best siuted for president for sure....
If Romeny wins this, he's going to further fuck our health care system.
