The Wall Street Journal asks, "How would you recommend we improve the health care system?" to their Health Care Analysis group.
Given that health costs are constantly increasing, we definitely need to reform the health care system -- but if we are not careful how we fix it, we could end up with a lot of unintended consequences. Current projections show that the reform bill in its current state would increase costs to many people who have insurance now.
The main reason is the current bill only spreads costs around. We need an effective means to lower costs.
How would you recommend we improve the system? How will you get Congress to implement your recommendations?
