...the U.S. healthcare system is failing Americans because it rewards bureaucracy, not care, effectively wasting trillions of dollars a year.....
The result: bigger bills, longer waits, and fewer choices for families—while bureaucrats prosper. Real reform means flipping incentives so patients, not administrators, come first.
Here’s how:
First, shift the tax benefit from employers to employees. Give families control of their healthcare dollars in no-limit health savings accounts. That means higher wages, portable coverage, and personalized plans.
Second, block grant Medicaid to the states. Washington’s open-ended funding fuels overspending. Capped support would encourage state innovation, such as time-limited personal HSAs for Medicaid that promote self-sufficiency.
Third, cut red tape. Repeal certificate-of-need laws and scope-of-practice restrictions so more professionals can meet patient needs directly.
Fourth, unleash innovation. Price controls, FDA delays, and politically driven subsidies weaken America’s biotech edge as China races ahead. Patients win when innovators compete to deliver faster cures at lower costs.
These reforms would lower costs and restore the principle that healthcare should serve families, not bureaucracies. Workers would see higher take-home pay. Patients would gain faster access to care. Americans would benefit from lower prices and new treatment options.
Washington’s spending doesn’t measure compassion. It’s measured by whether a parent can get a sick child treated promptly, whether seniors can afford their prescriptions, and whether breakthroughs reach patients promptly.
Healthcare reform isn’t about Washington saving the system it broke. It’s about trusting We the People (“We the Patients”), empowering states, and unleashing free markets. Until we enable patients and providers instead of bureaucrats and politicians, we’ll keep pouring trillions into a system where Americans pay for the privilege of waiting in line to die.
