Here are my litmus tests for changes to the healthcare system in the U.S....
- Produce legislation that will slow or stop the runaway increases in the cost of healthcare in this country.
- Assure that all Americans are given access to affordable healthcare. (By saying "Americans" I am specifically eliminating any requirement that free healthcare be provided to anyone who is residding in the U.S. illegally. That includes children, unless they were born here and are American citizens.)
- Create such legislation so that whatever costs associated with it's provisions are deficit neutral and do not add to the national debt.
Just a few simple litmus tests. Now, let's see what happens.
