Easy, Comprehensive, Bi-Partisan Health Care Reform Plan

BurgerStakeholdersTable1With all the national debate over health care reform, I have a plan that will guarantee that all members of Congress, Republicans and Democrats, will unify to adopt a heatlh care reform plan that will appeal to all Americans.  Right now, members of Congress have very little personal incentive to reform health care, since they enjoy the benefits of one of the most liberal, comprehensive and inexpensive (to them) health care plans in the country. The solution for this is simple: Congress should have the same stake in the system as the average American. If every person in this country were to demand of their Congressional representatives and Senators, that they be declared ineligble for the Federal employee plan, then they would have to buy their healthcare in the “free market” like all self employed and unemployed Americans.  If the health care for Congress was removed, we would see Congress frantically working for a bipartisan solution.  All we have to do to make this happen is have every American write and call President Obama and their Congressional reps every single week until it is done. After all, we potentially have as much influence as the lobbyists for insurance and pharmaceutical companies.
