I just had a thought: with the Republicans rather a large part of the picture of health care today - even if one or two (wives of Maine) for the proposals of the President of the Senate will be required pass - Barack Obama's free, as to rethink ' d pay for expanding coverage. This aspect of the bill, was tortured ridiculous - the latest proposal would need the insurance, gold-plated plans (compared to, unlike the recipients of these systems), buy a bit like when General Motors is to build Cadillac Escalades than the fools, the ostentatious .

My preference, know as a regular reader, it is the responsibility of the employer to remove the offer to health care and replace it with a single-payer system of tax credits the government (the additional benefits to individuals or where requested, which would be paid by employers taxed are in U.S. dollars), which could buy insurance from the highly regulated private companies. But that is several bridges too far in the current atmosphere.

My second choice, a non-entry was elegant President's proposal, tax cuts have paid for the rich, the same rate as for the middle class - are 28% since the Congress. As Obama said, if you are a millionaire, there is no reason why you should have a greater benefit for a donation to your church do if you are a line worker to receive. This idea of non-exit months has been declared, but if you pass a bill without the anti-tax fetishists of the Republican Party, he should be back on the table. After all, the Democrats should be in favor of progressive taxation, is not it? Well, is not it?

in 2006, a new health insurance system came into force in the Netherlands. This new system avoids the two pitfalls of adverse selection and moral hazard associated with traditional forms of health insurance, using a combination of regulation and a swimming pool security equation. Moral hazard avoided the mandatory insurance companies provide at least one policy that meets a government set minimum standard level of coverage, and all adult residents are obliged by law to purchase such coverage from an insurance company of their choice . All insurance companies receive funds from the pool balance to cover the cost of this government-mandated coverage. This group is run by a regulator which collects salary based contributions from employers, which represent approximately 50% of total funding for health care, and funding from government to cover people who can not afford healthcare, which is an additional 5%.
The remaining 45% funding of health care comes from premiums paid by the government, for which the companies compete on price, although the variation between competing insurers is only about 5%. However, insurance companies are free to sell additional policies to provide coverage over the national minimum. These policies do not receive funding from the pool equation, but also extends to treatments such as dental procedures and physiotherapy, which are not paid by the mandatory policy.
Funded by the pool balance is distributed to insurance companies to insure everyone in the required policy. However, the high-risk individuals to get more from the pool and low-income people and children under 18 have their insurance paid in full. Because of this, insurance companies do not find the security people at high risk and unappealing sentence, avoiding the potential problem of adverse selection.
Insurance companies may not be shared payments, caps or deductibles, or deny coverage to any person applying for a policy or charge anything other than their nationally set and published standard premiums . Therefore, anyone who buys insurance would pay the same price as everyone else buying the same policy, each person will get at least minimum coverage.

The national health insurance system was established in 1945, just after the Second World War. It 'was a compromise between the Gaullist and Communist representatives in the French parliament. The Gaullist conservatives were opposed to a state health system, while the Communists are in favor of a full nationalization of health care along the English model Beveridge.
The resulting program is a profession-based: all workers are required to pay a portion of their income to a not-for-profit health insurance, which mutualises the risk of disease, which reimburses medical expenses at variable rates. Children and spouses of insured persons eligible for benefits, as well. Each fund is free to manage its own budget for the reimbursement of medical expenses at the rate he wants, but after a series of reforms in recent years, most funds provide the same level of benefits and reimbursment.
The government has two responsibilities in this system.

    * The first responsibility of government is setting the rate at which medical expenses should be negotiated, and does so in two ways: The Ministry of Health negotiates prices directly with manufacturers of medicine, based on the average selling price stated in neighboring countries. A committee of doctors and experts decide whether the medicine has quite a valuable advantage for medical reimbursement (note that most of medicine is reimbursed, including homeopathy). In parallel, the government sets the rate reimbursment for medical services, which means that a doctor is free to charge the fee that wish for a consultation or examination, but the social security system will be reimbursed only at a predetermined rate. These rates are set annually through negotiation with organizations representing physicians' offices.
    * The second is the responsibility of government control of health insurance funds, to ensure that they properly manage the money they receive, and to supervise the public hospital network.
Today, this system is more or less intact. All citizens and legal foreign residents in France are covered by one of these mandatory programs, which are financed with the participation of workers. However, since 1945, a number of important changes were introduced. First, the various funds of health care (there are five: General, Independent, agricultural, Student, Public Servants), now all pay the same rate. Secondly, since 2000, the government now provides health care to those who are not covered by a compulsory scheme (those who have never worked and who are not students, meaning rich or poor). This scheme, unlike those of workers-funded, is financed through general taxation and repay at a rate higher than the profession-based system for those who can not afford to make a difference. Finally, the effects of rising health care costs, the government has set up two floors (2004 and 2006), which require the insured people to declare a reference physician to be reimbursed in full for visits specalist, and has installed a mandatory co-payment of € 1 (about 1.45 U.S. dollars) for a doctor visit, 0.50 € (about 80 ¢) per package of prescribed medication, and a share of € 16-18 ($ 20-25) per day for hospital stays and expensive procedures.
An important element of the French insurance system is solidarity: the more ill a person becomes, the less the person who pays. This means that for people with serious or chronic illness, their insurance system reimburses 100% of the costs and waive their rights of co-payment.
Finally, the taxes will not cover the mandatory system, there is a wide range of private supplementary insurance plans available. The market for these programs is highly competitive and often subsidized by the employer, which means that premiums are generally modest. 85% of French people receiving supplementary private health insurance.

Health care is a constitutional responsibility of provincial governments primarily in Canada (except the main federal government responsible for services provided to indigenous peoples are covered by treaties, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Armed Forces, and members of Parliament). Therefore, each province administers its own health insurance. The federal government affects the health insurance because of their fiscal powers - it is cash transfers and tax point in the province to help cover the costs of universal health insurance schemes. In Canada Health Act, the federal government mandates and provides a requirement that all people have free access to what is called "a medical point of view of services" is defined primarily as the care delivered by physicians or hospitals, and nursing component of long-term residential care . If the provinces allow doctors and clinics charge patients a medical point of view of services, the federal government reduces its payments to the provinces by the number of illegal fees. Taken together, the province of public health insurance system in Canada, which are often referred to as Medicare. This social insurance are not taxed, funded from general government revenues, while in British Columbia and Ontario collect the required premium to the flat rates for individuals and families to obtain additional revenues - in effect, the income tax. Private health insurance is permitted, but in six provinces only for services, public health plans do not cover, for example, semi-private rooms or in hospitals and plans for prescription drugs. Four provinces allow insurance services are also provided by the Canada Health Act, but in practice there is no market for it. All Canadians are free to use the services of private insurance for elective medical services such as laser vision correction surgery, plastic surgery, and other non-essential medical procedures. About 65% of Canadians have some form of supplementary private health insurance, many of them receive it through their employers. [20] in the private sector services not paid by the government accounted for nearly 30 percent of total health expenditure [21].
