Here is my health plan. The Government should provide:
1. Catastrophic insurance coverage for all citizens
2. Basic coverage for indigents
3. Regulations against price gouging
4. A competitive marketplace for health care where the patient has choices and financial responsibility
5. Private insurance should be available, but no plan should be allowed to provide 100 percent payment for covered services.
I believe that competition and patient involvement is the only way to control costs.
