• Right to Die
    I'm old and worn out and I want to die without pain and suffering or without leaving my life's savings to the medical-insurance complex. I want palliative care so I don't have to endure pain and suffering, I do not want to be transported, revived, electrocuted, irradiated, poisoned or autopsied. I'm not scared of death or disease, I get that nobody gets out alive and I just want the medical people to allow me to go without pain and suffering.

This has resulted in insured individual not using vital health care services because tehy can not pay the decutibles or co-pay. This proposal would limit deductibles to $25 and co-pays to $5.

  • Remove US Veterans from forced Intern care at the VA
    To send to Congress a clear and unyeilding demand that US Service members receive the full extend (or same as) medical benefits that all other segments of civilian society enjoy. The removal of all teaching focused VA within the system and allow the veteran to opt out of such inexperienced care and have the VA provide a "private" health care policy if said facility only has training intern/fellows as replacement for seasoned medical professions with multi-years of experience instead of their first few years after college. Allow the Veterans to have a 3rd party independent complaint system outside the control of the Congress and VA itself so to isolate and pin point abuse within the VA Care system throughout the world.

    Being injured at work can happen to anyone. From being a small cut, to losing a limb. The fact is no matter what, you were hurt in the line of duty, and should be compensated for it. Especially when it affects you from being able to return to work after the injury occurs.

  • Speedy Pay to Doctors from Insurance Companies.
    Doctors and medical institutions should not have to wait long periods of time for pay from Insurance companies. Insurance companies engaged to supplement medicare have a captured audience of clients and they often delay payment for services for close to a year causing credit issues, etc. I am sure that the insurance companies don't sit on these large sums of money and don't invest it to get huge financial returns.
