Support a Plan – Not a Politician
Health care is and will be one of the key issues in the 2008 elections. A number of candidates have already proposed health care plans. A thoughtful analysis of the proposed plans is called for to determine if they are doable, comprehensive and economically feasible. Do these plans actually offer practical and viable approaches for supporting the health of women and children?

Politicians understand that rising health care costs and inadequate coverage and care are becoming unbearable and a real source of frustration for voters. These politicians want to win votes and therefore make promises that cannot be kept. Instead of supporting a politician, a political party, political rhetoric and political promises that can and will be broken, it is in the public’s best interest to support a national health insurance plan for women and children that is practical, applicable and equitable.

It is important that the health insurance plan be understandable and make sense. We need to be aware and alert to the reality that we will be presented with political plans built around mathematical complexities and manipulations of language used to hide weaknesses and loopholes, making the promise of the plan unrealistic.

Simply put, there are simple solutions.
Simply put, America generates enough economic wealth to provide health care.
Simply put, for the women and children of america
Simply put, it is in the complications and complexities that the truths get hidden.
Simply put, any health care plan should be easy to understand.

The Plan Congress Has:
Members of Congress have a health care plan called the Federal Employees Health Benefit Plan (FEHBP). FEHBP currently covers nearly 10 million federal employees, including over 1.9 million retirees. FEHBP gives enrollees over 200 health care plans to choose from, and lets them pick the solution that best fits their needs. Premiums vary, but for the most part, the federal government pays for approximately 75% of the cost with the beneficiary responsible for the remaining 25%.

The plan provides a wide variety of benefits to its enrollees. Certain benefits are part of every health care plan competing for business in FEHBP, including coverage for hospital and surgical care, ambulatory patient care, obstetrical examinations, and prescription drugs. In addition, every employee is covered fully in any plan he or she chooses without limitations regarding "pre-existing conditions".
