Just A Few Questions About Healthcare Reform

    In the last seven years something like 30 million people have joined the mainstream of healthcare provision. It's reasonable to assume millions of them have established relationships with doctors.
Will those people be able to keep their doctors?  It only seems fair to ask.
    Millions of people have new health insurance plans who never had them before. Will they be able to keep those plans?  It only seems fair to ask.
    Thousands have found employment in the personal care field because of expanded funding from the ACA and thousands more have seen pay increases. Will they be able to keep their jobs?  Will they be able to keep the increase in pay?  It only seems fair to ask.
    Thousands have benefited from the extension of personal care. Will they continue to benefit?  It only seems fair to ask.
    It seems fair to ask  of any reform proposal every question that was asked of the ACA.  It sure isn't my fault the answers aren't as good.  It does kinda make you wonder who's fault it is the answers aren't very good.
    There are other questions and they are fair to ask as well.  Some doctors actually care about their patients;  the good ones anyway.  I'm sure they wonder if they will be able to keep their patients.  I'm sure the good ones and the not so good ones wonder if they'll be able to maintain their increased earnings. There's nothing wrong in asking that.  People deserve to earn a living no matter what they do.
    Companies also deserve to earn a profit.  Reliable, official estimates are the insurance companies will lose 23 million clients over the coming years from these attempts at reform.  It is reasonable for those companies to ask how they will maintain their profits just as they have been blamed for asking now.
    They also might want to ask if, when the republicans are done, will they be able to devote more than 15% of their profits to executive compensation and bonuses.  That limitation seems to be the only "socialist" feature of the ACA and it only seems fair to ask.
    So, whose fault is it these questions are fair and the answers aren't very good?  I don't think it really matters as long as we just don't do it.
