Eric Wade's HealthCare Solution, with BONUSES

Here is Eric Wade's On The Record HealthCare Coverage Solution.

There will be an extraordinary amount of coverage and debate in the next few months / years about HealthCare. Who has it. Who doesn't. Who should pay for it. Who shouldn't. Whose responsibility is it? What changes should Americans make in order for this to work? Which countries plans should we copy? Which should we avoid copying?

I have answers for all of that. Let's call it EWHC for simplicity's sake.

It is the eventual goal of EWHC to make coverage available to 100% of Americans who desire coverage. It is assumed by EWHC that this will be an optional, voluntary program that will not take the place of any private programs that Americans have access to through work or privately owned Healthcare Policies.

Also, to make sure the system provides the most benefit to the most families with young children, we will limit the initial enrollment class to individuals 42 years old and younger for EWHC. Once in EWHC, a person can stay as long as they wish or leave whenever they wish, but EWHC does not guarantee reacceptance once a person has chosen to leave EWHC.

All Family members will be immediately eligible with full benefits, including preventive care, dental, vision, prescription, maternity, surgery, hospitalization, etc. There are no loopholes. Copays will be minimal to make sure access to care is not limited to income.

Certain enrollees may be eligible for cash bonuses when they sign up for EWHC. These cash bonuses are variable and will run from a few thousand dollars to as much as $25,000 depending upon the individual. In most cases, this upfront bonus cash will more than cover years, if not a lifetime, of copays.

EWHC will provide guaranteed global coverage as long as a member remains in good standing.

EWHC will require some members to participate in health and wellness exercise programs in order to keep members in good health and the costs down.

EWHC will offer nutritional guidance as well as skills training and job placement for members in an effort to maximize health and happiness of members for it is a widely recognized fact that health and happiness are related.

EWHC will provide many members with the option of receiving prepared, healthy, balanced meals at no cost.

If a member stays in good standing as well as completing their required exercise, health, nutrition, and skills programs, then their family will not only continue to receive EWHC for no cost, but the member can become eligible for rebates and cash payments for remaining healthy and remaining an EWHC member in good standing. These payments can start as high as $20,000 per year or more, and will increase with each year that the EWHC member continues their membership. Although family members receive free EWHC coverage, they will not be eligible for these payments unless they choose to enroll in EWHC independently when they reach their 18th birthday.

With free coverage, family benefits, up-front cash payments to cover future expenses, free food, free exercise programs, international / global coverage, and ongoing cash payments for members in good standing, it seems that EWHC, if possible, is the perfect solution for the millions of Americans currently suffering from having no healthcare coverage.

Well, EWHC is possible. It's called the US Army.

Just think of the SERIOUS BONUSES America and Americans would get if everyone who needed Healthcare Coverage joined the Army.

1. Recruiting goals would be met immediately.
2. More Americans would exercise.
3. The unemployment rate will drop.
4. The Army would have plenty of people for any job they needed.
5. More Americans would get job training.
6. More Americans would get money for college.
7. When reports about our Army getting overwhelmed with new recruits are heard by hostile countries and terrorists, it should serve as a warning that America is STRONG and that in itself will serve as a detriment to future hostilities.
8. More Americans will travel abroad.
9. The Army will be able to take expensive private-contractor no-bid-jobs away from companies like Halliburton and BlackWater.
10. More Americans will feel that they belong to something bigger than themselves and possibly work to improve our communities.
11. Fewer Americans will have to commute long distances to work, cutting down on traffic, greenhouse gasses, traffic fatalities, and the overwhelming influence of conservative AM radio.
12. More Americans will learn manners, discipline, organization skills, and many other beneficial attributes.
13. More Americans will be eligible for retirement at an early age.
14. EWHC will not discourage research and development by pharmaceutical companies.

This is not a joke. If you think this is a ridiculous idea, try comparing it to the other "solutions" that will be bandied about in the next few months.
