There is an army of angry, likely voters just outside your door. If you attempt any further moves toward socialism, we will storm your polling places and show you how real democracy works.
We need to know that you are willing to end this standoff peacefully. Turn over one of your hostages -- we'll take "healthcare reform" -- and we'll give you a pizza or a high-priced polling consultant.
Now, let's talk about the terms of your surrender. We're prepared to only charge you with misdemeanor public indecency, and in exchange you must give us the following REAL healthcare reform bill that includes:
- real, substantive malpractice-related tort reform
- no tax increases
- no new government programs, and no expansions of any existing government program
- tax credits for individuals who purchase their own health insurance
- tax incentives for small employers who provide insurance for their employees
- the ability of health insurance providers to compete across state lines
- expand purchasing pools to allow trade associations, businesses and individuals to combine and qualify for large group insurance rates
- standardized coverage and payment terms - written for CONSUMERS to understand
- real enforcement of Medicare fraud and incentives to encourage doctors to accept new Medicare patients
- require insurers cover pre-existing conditions but ONLY if there is an FDIC-style pool for insurers to offset the cost of claims related to pre-existing conditions
- give all healthcare consumers access to create and control their health savings account
