Here is something I don't get. These two bullets would help. How much it will help, is unknown, but there is no reason it would not help:
- Allow any insurance company in any state to sell insurance to anyone. We do this for all other forms of insurance, and I don't see anyone in an uproar, because my auto insurance company is not in my state.
- Limit the amount a lawsuit settlement can be for pain and suffering to $250,000. Allow real issues to have unlimited compensation. Like if I lose my legs due to a doctor's incompetence, allow a 20 million dollar settlement if that makes sense. But, if I was told I was going to die, only to find out later that I am fine (actually happened to me), limit the claim one can receive.
Why don't they just pass those? Don't worry about some 2,700 page bill. Just vote on those two things as two little bills, and continue to work on whatever healthcare thing you want to work on.
I would bet those two things would go a long way, and cost nothing to do. Where did common sense go in Washington?
