Health Care Reform

 

  Health Care Reform is a high priority of the Obama Administration and has considerable support in the United States Congress. During the 2008 debates, President Obama stated he supported universal health care for children but adults would have something significantly less.

Obama also stated health care would be available to all except undocumented Hispanics. Act Arizona believes the health of all persons living in the United States contributes to the well being of all Americans. Having anyone sick in an American community has an adverse impact on the entire community.

Recent movement on Capitol Hill and by major health-care players suggests consensus is growing for action this year, but deep rifts remain over how to pay for expanded coverage and whether a new government-sponsored program should be offered to people who have trouble buying private insurance. A coalition of hospitals, insurers, employers, physicians, drug makers and consumers released a report March 27 endorsing a set of policy changes that could cut in half the number of uninsured Americans.

Most notably, the group, known as the Health Reform Dialogue, calls for creating an "individual mandate" that would require every American to have some type of health coverage. Anyone who cannot afford insurance would be eligible for subsidies or expanded government programs such as Medicaid. "We should seek to ensure coverage for all," the group concluded after six months of private, professionally facilitated negotiations.
Whatever federal program is approved in Washington, Act Arizona is committed to off set all individual costs to achieve free health care for all living in Arizona.
 

 

Act Arizona will establish a health insurance entity to subsidize Arizona health insurance companies providing coverage in Arizona.

All fees including health insurance premiums, co-pays and required Medicare's out of pocket "donut" fees will be subsidized from revenue from the Playa del Sol Casino now being proposed in the Rio Salado south of the downtown Phoenix area.

The private insurance companies will still receive the same amount of revenue but instead of individuals paying a portion of the private health insurance cost, the revenue from the Playa del Sol Casino proposed for downtown Phoenix will be used to subsidize individual costs so there will be no individual costs for Phoenix area residents.

The proposed Phoenix casino is estimated to generate $1.2 Billion annually for health care costs that will be used to directly pay the private insurance companies in lieu of being paid by individuals.

With the inclusion of casino profits subsidizing private insurance companies, medical services will be provided for all living in the Phoenix area at no cost to individual or employer as subsidized by the Federal government and Act Arizona using casino revenue. If casino revenue falls short of achieving free heath care costs for individuals, modest fees for premiums and co-pays will be utilized.

Act Arizona proposes inclusion of all in Arizona is defined as employers, employees, unemployed, children, seniors (to eliminate all Medicare fees specifically prescription drugs), disabled and all other Arizona residents with no exclusion by pre-existing conditions.
