Healthcare

I watch television pretty regularly and the same thing seems to be dominating the airwaves day after day, healthcare reform. I have watched and watched and it seems there can be no agreeing on a plan that works for everyone. Senators, congressmen and women, and Presidents. Doctors, patients, and pharmaceutical companies. I figured the only way I was ever going to get something new to watch was for me to solve the problem myself! Guess what? I did it. In all my awesomness, I have come up with a win/win plan for healthcare reform. You gotta start with the problem, money. The doctors and hospitals and drug companies all want a boatload of cash.
So, I have decided that insurance companies should only pay doctors and hospitals minimum wage. If a doctor feels that 10 yrs. and $250,00 for college is worth more than minimum wage, he should seek corporate sponsorship. Thats right, beer and soda companies, big tobacco, giant hardware and building supply companies, and even some drug manufacturers would probably be willing to dole out some green for nothing more than a colorful patch, sewn onto a lab coat. I am fairly sure my plan works and heres why, NASCAR. Yep, just watch a nascar race and look at all those corporate sponsors. These companies are putting out some real serious money hoping that their car will win the race and get some press coverage. Look at it this way, insurance rates for you and me go down due to not having to pay out so much loot. Doctors get to keep their crazy high salaries because any company that can pay for a race car has plenty of extra cash to throw around. Lastly the doctors will try so much harder to heal patients in the hopes of sweeter sponsorships, think of it as a lived/died ratio. Other winners in my plan include garment manufacturers, new lab coats with each satisfied customer, not to mention how much nicer the doctors will look with their new colorful outfits. Another benefit to my plan is, repeat business for the docs. Say they are sponsored by a cigarette manufacturer, their patients see the pretty patches on the lab coat and bam, now they smoke! Repeat business. A drug and alcohol abuse clinic could have beer signs all over the office. There's really no end to to the possibilities. I like the plan and maybe the nicest part of all is the cost to our government...ZERO DOLLARS! As with any new idea there will undoubtedly be some critics. Thats too bad and to those critics i say think about the last time you had the tv on, did you see any commercials advertising drugs? drugs for depression, insomnia, and even some "help I've aged and I cant get it up" drugs. That airtime isn't free. Give the loot to the docs and let them leave my insurance company alone! I think this plan just might work!
