In response to Purse Creation Rewards.
If you have some ideas about how to improve this nation's National Health Care System, write an essay that may help the powers-at-be to give us something better than what we have now. What we have now is half the population not insured and sometimes losing their homes because of catastrophic diseases that can cost upwards of a million dollars to treat.
The other half, the insured half of the country is paying $200 to $300 Per Month by many estimates to pay for these uninsured who are rarely able to pay for these mounting costs.
Are doctors and hospitals overcharging for their services? In some countries the Government limits the fee on any medical service so something approaching affordability. Some say, this is Socialized medicine and doesn't work in the long run. Are Insurance Companies the culprits in all this because they deny claims many times and want to keep most of their premium moneys to themselves and pay higher and higher profits to their stockholders in order to justify their jobs as CEO's and to justify their bonueses often as much as One Hundred Million dollars. Some people say this is the main problem with Capitalism, Greed.
IS there any middle ground? Is there a way to protect people from catastrophic diseases so that no one can lose their homes to the onset of old age? If you think you have some answers, write an essay on the subject and help solve the problem and make some money that could help pay your own medical bills.

Well it certainly is not an easy problem to tackle in a 1,000 or so word essay but I'd like to see if any new ideas are out there.
