Answers for healthcare can be found in "Old School" Conservatism

There's an old saying " if you have no idea where your going, any road will get you there " thus the Real question on healthcare reform becomes how do we as the Republican Party create a legitimately "American " Healthcare System Which focuses on our strengths and our values as a country rather then our weaknesses? Remember despite objection the Democrats offered a solution that was hard to understand and easy to manipulate utilizing the Political machine and it's accompanying rhetoric. It did not offer a public option or an all. Inclusive "Medicare - for - all" scenario. The trick is to remember the GOP existed before Reagan and trickle down economics and look to the philosophies of such notables as Dwight Eisenhower Teddy Roosevelt and Richard Nixon.The Republican alternative should strike a balance between public financing and accountability and private finance and accountability. The solution to Healthcare reform had been around for well over 3 decades and was first proposed by Richard Nixon and a bipartisan Congress. Here's how it works:Everyone In MN and potentially surrounding states through earnings, employers, public assistrance, etc have a choice in a major healthcare company (Allina Health, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, CenterCare Health, MayoHealth, United Health, etc) and has an option for 1,2,3 ,5 or Life time membership. Price competition creates an incentive for companies to provide services the elderly and disabled. Effective diagnostics and solutions to our ailments begin to Play a more significant role because it's natural for humanity to place a higher priority on being healthy over being sick. The annual price of a plain becomes more so dependent on the length of time of the plan that you sign up for And at the same eliminates the need for an intermediate insurance company And it allows for claims of 15%-50% of premiums to be put towards at risk, overly -healthy and persistently sick demographics. Which is essentially the way a free market economy should work. In 1994 the GOP opposed Bill Clinton's proposed overhaul of the American Healthcare system and developed the concept of Medical Savings accounts, they came to support the rhetoric driven idea that the Average American recognized the difference between a need, a want and a nice thing to have when it comes to healthcare. Medical professionals came to recognize by our illnesses rather then by our potential towards health . Hence the reason why Orthopedic suregeons have developed their surgery centers along main highways and routes of major public access such as the Vikings Headquarters in Eagan. It also is most likely one of the reasons Minnesota Gastrointestology has maintained such a large monopoly on colonoscopies and gastrointestinal procedures. This is clearly one solutions healthcare reform but the AHCA has the potential to be of significant detriment to American Citizens. It's not transparency, it's largely based on semantics and to be blunt it's just poor public policy, the American electorate deserves policy initiatives that are driven by empirical data. Isn't it time we move on from Unproductive partisan rhetoric and get things done for Minnesotans. I certainly think so.
