TWO IMPORTANT PLATFORM ADDITIONS

AS I TRAVEL THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, IN ADDITION TO PEOPLE WANTING TO KNOW HOW I INTEND GETTING OUR TROOPS OUT OF HARMSWAY, WHAT I HEAR MOST ARE CONCERNS ABOUT THE COST OF MEDICARE, MEDICAID AND PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.

OBVIOUSLY, HMO'S DID NOT WORK. THE PRESENT SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING. DOCTORS ARE MOVING OUT OF AREAS WHERE MALPRACTICE INSURANCE COSTS ARE INSANE. AND, IT IS NOT THE INSURANCE COMPANY'S WHO ARE TO BLAME, IT IS THE COURTS. AWARDS ARE OUT OF SIGHT. (REMEMBER THE HOT COFFEE INCIDENT AT MC DONALDS?)

MY PLATFORM WILL IMMEDIATELY PLACE A CAP ON MEDICAL INSURANCE CLAIMS, A SENSIBLE CAP. DOCTORS WHO REPEATEDLY ARE SUED WILL UNDERGO VARIOUS TESTS TO DETERMINE THEIR CAPABILITIES. THIS WILL ENCOURAGE YOUNG GRADUATES TO CONSIDER MEDICINE AS THEIR PROFESSION.

I WILL IMMEDIATELY PROPOSE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT a COUNTRY OF OUR STATURE AND MEANS, A COUNTRY WHO CAN SEND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OVERSEAS, CANNOT PROVIDE FREE MEDICAL CARE AND TREATMENT FOR OUR OWN CITIZENS. I WILL APPOINT (AT A COST TO THAT INDIVIUDUAL OF COURSE)A CZAR, OR A SECRETARY OF HEALTH CARE AND TOGETHER WE WILL WORK TOWARD THE GOAL OF PROVIDING FREE HEALTH CARE TO EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD. AND OH YES, THE LONG WAITS DOCTORS NOW ARE OBLIVIOUS TO, WILL NO LONGER TAKE PLACE. PEOPLE HAVE COMMITTMENTS AND SITTING IN A DOCTORS OFFICE FOR HOURS BECAUSE OF GREEDY SCHEDULING WILL END. FOR EVERY TEN MINUTES A PATIENT IS KEPT WAITING BEYOND THEIR SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT, THE DOCTOR MUST DEDUCT 25% OF HIS ALLOWED FEE.

THE SECOND ADDITION TO MY PLATOFRM WILL BE THE REPEAL OF A PERK THAT OUR CONGRESSMAN (AND WOMAN) AND SENATORS HAVE VOTED THEMSELVES.DID YOU KNOW THEY DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIAL SECURITY?
AND, WHEN THEY RETIRE THEY GET FULL PAY, COST OF LIVING INCREASES AND DO SO FOR LIFE. SORRY, WANT TO BE A POLITICIAN, DO AS YOUR CONSTITUENTS MUST DO. PAY UP!

AS YOU KNOW MY PLATFORM TELLS IT "AS IT IS", RIGHT UP FRONT! NO CLANDESTINE, UNDER THE TABLE SYSTEM. I SELL EVERY CABINET POST. I KEEP THE MONEY FROM THESE SALES. BUT, I WON'T ACCEPT MONEY FROM ONE I DO NOT THINK IS CAPABLE AND WHO DOESN'T HELP ME REDUCE THE EVER-GROWING DEFICIT. THAT IS WHAT OUR PARTY IS ALL ABOUT.
