Too many talking heads spewing out too much spin. Going round and round in circles on a subject too much ego and pride has been invested in.

No matter which side you are on — the facts is Obamacare is not perfect, nor is the system that predates it. I do not know which side will win out and if it will be fixed, repealed, replaced, or reformed — but I do know there are some good ideas within that 2,000 pages of legislation and 20,000 pages of regulations that should not be thrown out with the bath water.

We have lived in many countries under all sorts of healthcare systems and I can tell you the American system is neither as good as some people make out nor as bad as other people make out.

So I have started this collection as a contribution to the discussion. The President has said he will work with anyone with good ideas to fix it — so I would like to address some of the ideas that have been put forward. Lets see if they are good or bad. If they are good, then what are the reasons that they have not been adopted.

Putting the website problems aside, I think the biggest problem is what it is costing families to get insurance. I suspect if it was really $2,500 per family cheaper on an apples to apples comparison, then there would be a lot less complaints. Subsidies just muddy the waters and mask the problems — so in this collection, I would like to address some of the ideas I hear floating around that I believe would genuinely help reduce costs.

Obamacare critics have some great one liners. Some are right on target, but others do not withstand a deeper examination. I would like to highlight a few of those in this collection. To fix this problem, someone is going to have to sort fact from fiction — so lets get started.

I would be happy to include your contributions in this collection if they address these issues. I will not however include contributions that include personal attacks.

If I get something wrong, please tell me and I will correct it.
