The U.S. healthcare system needs one simple fix – a citizen-based allocation of resources, rather than big-government central planning.

Our politicians have created a lumbering, red-tape laden healthcare monstrosity with bureaucrats, analysts, programmers, regulators, monitors, enforcers, healthcare coaches, and NFL advertisers all involved in the chain of players.

Website work alone reached an eye-popping $4 billion. It was recently announced that the government has spent $4.4 billion on ramping up state healthcare websites in “several waves of grants.”  In addition, last month Kathleen Sebelius testified on Capitol Hill that “the federal website has so far cost $174 million, including $56 million in technological support with more still owed to contractors.”

We need to refocus on the patient and the providers.  We need to decentralize.    We need to return to a cash basis.

Direct the Federal Reserve to electronically deposit $16,000 in to the Medical Savings Account (MSA) of every participating U.S. citizen.  Reverse the individual mandate to bring the private insurers back onto the playing field, and let families purchase high-deductible major medical policies with precisely the types of coverage they desire.

This would allow Americans to keep their major medical plans, keep their doctors and keep their pharmacists.

For a period of 5 years. participating U.S. citizens concurrently enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid, VA, TriCare, and FEHB (approximately 121 million people) would not lose coverage in these programs, but would be responsible for covering a $3,000 annual deductible (all covered by the newly-available MSA funds).

This would allow for American families themselves to allocate $363 billion of their healthcare expenditures each year during the 5 year period – instead of running it through big government programs.

This “Citizens Plan” would have a wonderful, cleansing effect.  It would cut out the dead wood (millions of middlemen) and restore individual freedom of choice for choosing one’s own providers and services.  And all citizens would have resources for their basic day-to-day healthcare needs.

Doors are closing fast in the healthcare field.  We need a rescue plan. Cash paying customers would reopen a lot of doors.  America needs that.

America needs The Leviticus 25 Plan.
