The "insurance" business model does not deliver health care well.
It delivers reimbursement well for anomaly events, like random house fires for a large pool of people who have statistically only a few claims amongst them over a long period of time. "Insurance" is the appropriate choice to spread risk of an unlikely loss, and prevent a potential bankruptcy.
However, delivering health care requires a business model that is publicly funded, flexible, provides consistent, paperless, and dependable customer health care services seamlessly, and effortlessly with health care facilities. Health care needs increase and decrease throughout a humans life, irrespective of their finances.
Health care provided well must be delivered with a business model that matches humans health care needs. There are many business models to study from all over the world that provide health care well.
First, the USA needs to figure out a new business model, one that matches the customer service it is trying to deliver, health care.
Second, within the new "Health Care" business model framework, decide what entities, be it public or private combinations, meet consumers health care needs best.
The "insurance" business model was not meant to deliver health care services well, and it hasn't!
It's time to move forward...toward "health care" and away from insurance!

Health education funding at risk!
The Chairman of the OC Board of Supervisors, right-wing conservative John Moorlach is going to attempt to cancel contracts that total over $300,000 with Planned Parenthood.
WE NEED YOUR PRESENCE AND PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS!
Next Tuesday (Mar 10th), John Moorlach, Orange County Supervisor District 2, will bring an agenda item to the Board of Supervisors meeting that could drastically inhibit our ability to serve the community. He plans to single out Planned Parenthood by withholding more than $290,000 in health education funding. Services provided through the Health Education Program empower teens and young adults throughout our community to make informed, healthy, and responsible decisions about their health, and ultimately to reduce the incidence of unintended pregnancies, STIs, and tobacco use in Orange County. Any attempt by the supervisors to change the contract represents a breach of contract and an abuse of power on their behalf. At a time when people are losing their jobs and their medical coverage, Supervisor Moorlach wants to take hundreds of thousands of dollars away from primary health care resources.
We need you to take action to protect family planning and health education services in your community.
Please call or e-mail your County Supervisor to let them know you support Planned Parenthood and the health education services we provide under the Tobacco Settlement Funds (TSR) and immunization contracts. (all contact info is provided in extended post)
