THE OBAMA ELEMENT ON INSURANCE

It appears that the Obama Administration is under tremendous pressure to help secure health coverage for the more than 47,000,000
uninsured Americans. Several states in the Union are currently investigating some kind of government-sponsored insurance coverage with Massachusetts leading the way.

The question that a lot of people pose is; Where can the funding be found in a single-payer system? The Obama health care reform plan requires guaranteed issue health insurance and the creation of a National Health Insurance Exchange to oversee such purchase and delivery from a single or centralized source. While this certainly does sound like the 'change' promised, but such a 'change' will be nearly impossible to fund. To back up this, consider the following:

The Summary of the 2008 Annual Reports produced by Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees, indicates that Medicare's hospital insurance trust fund will be depleted in 2019.

Considering the economic crisis that is going on all around us today, balancing the Medicare issue while expanding government's role in the under 65 market could be a very difficult process.

What we're starting to see however, is employers who have been faced with cuts while trying to maintain their businesses, is to opt-out of the full-coverage for employees and dependents. They are either reducing their participation or cutting it altogether.

This problem can be remedied in most cases with stand-alone medical,dental and vision products that are purchased on an individual basis.
