My Health Care Reform Plan ...

My reform plan:

Open the borders between states to allow inter state competition. I have a hunch that certain requirements in drug testing could be gotten rid of without negative effects.

Let people go to experimental treatments earlier in the experimentation process. Yes, that might mean that you test drugs on people which kill them, but at four months to live, isn't that their decision?

Also, I feel like there is too much animal testing. It drives up the cost, hurts animals, and, again, this is just a belief, but I don't think that it helps all that much, and certainly not in the excessive amounts it is used in. Keep it to a practical level, a minimum.

Very careful tort reform, according to the following plan: Do not force doctors to have malpractice insurance, but do force them to reveal whether or not they have malpractice insurance. If they have malpractice insurance, allow for an unlimited amount of money to be taken in a successful lawsuit. If they do not, make the maximum legal amount that can be won one which helps the patient and is enough to be threatening to a doctor, in order to prevent cases of malpractice, but not one which would be life destroying if the doctor were forced to pay it (the example I use is $100,000, but that is very subject to change.).

The only drugs which should only be available by prescription only should be those which are highly addictive.
This will do two things:
First, it will prevent people from having to go to the doctor for drugs which they know they need, anyway.
Second, it will give people more freedom, and therefore more responsibility, into the drugs which they take. This means they will be less likely to rely totally on doctor opinions when it comes to which drugs to take, which means that a doctor mistake will potentially be less devastating, because people will get more information on their own, and from more sources, meaning a higher chance of second guessing the doctor with regards to the medications taken. Make more tests available for home testing. This is cheaper and more efficient than having a doctor do it. We have home blood sugar and pregnancy tests, so why not a home strep test? That is a cheaper and easier remedy to the problem of people going to the emergency room with a sore throat than Obama's national health care plan.

Simple, cheap, and helpful. That is what a reform plan needs.
