Provided that the government permits free market activity in the medical industry, it should:
*]Develop Health Care Plans that allow the consumer to be more aware of medical prices.
*]Develop Health Care Plans that permit choice in how medical malpractice will be handled. - These could be ligiation, arbitation, overseeing bodies, etc. that would investigate claims of malpractice and take the appropriate actions and recompense to the victims. These should include ways for consumer to appeal the decision if they feel the problems are not being addressed.
*]Develop Health Care Plans that address the specific needs of different groups, including religious affliation and those with limited budgets.
*]Affliate with Medical Associations that share their moral views and disaffliate with those who do not.
*]Form Medical Assocations that advocate a particular moral view to provide guidance to likeminded medical professionals and organizations.
*]Provide consumers with detailed medical pricing for the services that they recieve and how they can save on what they pay through different options.
*]Establish Retirement Health Care Accounts (RHCA) - RHCA’s are accounts funding future health care coverage at retirement. At the time of retirement, the value of the account should be equated into a level of contribution towards health care coverage. 40 years of contributions to the account by employers should yield a low-copay full health coverage plan.
*]Establish a common medical information exchange standard, that permit the communications of medical records between medical professionals.
