As President Obama is overhauling the health-care agreements in Washington
further policies must be underway for health care coverage whether it is private or public healthcare. Last week Obama nominated Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius for Secretary of Health and Nancy-Ann DeParle from the Clinton administration both have expertise in health care issues goes a long way to launching
Although some large corporations include health care insurance for their employees, how will these plans change with new health care requirements for individuals and business.
Most people and Democrats want insurance coverage even for people who have an illness but insurance companies won’t accept sick individuals if they cannot insure the newer and younger healthier individuals. The basic fact remains that 45 million people are without any healthcare coverage which must be changed and is a goal of the new Obama administration. Republicans have always opposed such policies and leaving those who are not covered to find their own insurance. Insurance subsidies could be made available for lower income individuals but there are many unanswered questions and complications to provide healthcare insurance for these individuals. Businesses that offer insurance to their employees would qualify for a tax credit.
Still the model for complete health insurance coverage for each person could evolve around a plan in which there are 3 parties, the government, the business and the individual who would all pay 1/3 of the coverage costs.
In this manner there is financial input by each sector and coverage for all would be very possible.
