Health Care Reform - Why Are People So Worked Up?

	Why are Americans so worked up about health care reform? Statements such as "don't touch my Medicare" or "everyone should have access to state of the art health care irrespective of cost" are in my opinion uninformed and visceral responses that indicate a poor understanding of our health care system's history, its current and future resources and the funding challenges that America faces going forward. While we all wonder how the health care system has reached what some refer to as a crisis stage. Let's try to take some of the emotion out of the debate by briefly examining how health care in this country emerged and how that has formed our thinking and culture about health care. With that as a foundation let's look at the pros and cons of the Obama administration health care reform proposals and let's look at the concepts put forth by the Republicans?

	Access to state of the art health care services is something we can all agree would be a good thing for this country. Experiencing a serious illness is one of life's major challenges and to face it without the means to pay for it is positively frightening. But as we shall see, once we know the facts, we will find that achieving this goal will not be easy without our individual contribution.

	~~These are the themes I will touch on to try to make some sense out of what is happening to American health care and the steps we can personally take to make things better.~~


	~~<i><u>A recent history of American health care - what has driven the costs so high?</u></i>~~

	~~<b>Key elements of the Obama health care plan</b>~~

	~~<u><strong>The Republican view of health care - free market competition</strong></u>~~

	~~<b>Universal access to state of the art health care - a worthy goal but not easy to achieve</b>~~

	~~<b>what can we do?</b>~~


	First, let's get a little historical perspective on American health care. This is not intended to be an exhausted look into that history but it will give us an appreciation of how the health care system and our expectations for it developed. What drove costs higher and higher?		First, let's get a little historical perspective on American health care.
