Rights to dream about

Yesterday was Martin Luther King Day and I suppose I should have a post about civil rights but I feel that enough of my past posts should give away my feelings about the subject.  For this post, I want to focus on another type of right that I feel everyone should have and that is of healthcare.

Our healthcare system is a complete mess. While one procedure might cost this amount in one hospital, the price might be skyrocketed compared to another hospital. Healthcare is unfortunately a private business and in my opinion, it should be government regulated. Equal care for all is the way to go. If you got the money and you want perks in your hospital stay, I say pay your way but there should be a bottom line cost that should be equal for all. Insurance should be at a base rate that again if you have the money and you want more perks you're free to pay for more but the basics should be the same for all and not cost an arm and leg to receive.

Simple idea but insane to put into practice, I know. The Affordable Healthcare Act is just a bandage on a damaged system. No one understands it and the level of cooperation between local, state and government just leaves everyone in chaos to what needs to be done. My personal experience in trying to get any type of information was hellacious and that's putting it lightly. Seriously the runaround I got was completely and utterly ridiculous. I say wipe the entire system down and start afresh but there's no way that will happen with the amount of money that health insurance companies are currently collecting.

But this is just my opinion and but this is my blog and I'm allowed to share my opinion.
