Obama Insists that All Employers Contribute to Health Coverage

Obama says all employers should contribute to health coverage for their employees or pay towards a public plan. It is an interesting concept, although many employers are actively preparing to reduce the costs of health coverage, not increase it. They just cannot afford to keep offering it at the rates they pay now.

The President suggests hospitals need to be graded on performance and streamline their recordkeeping for higher efficiency. Better recordkeeping is nice, but it does not address the prices doctors charge for services or what the hospital bills for patient care. We know these type of bills can be shockingly high.

In addition, Obama says a national health insurance exchange program would reform private markets. It sure would – it would drive up the prices insurance companies charge because they need to keep their bottom line healthy. Insurance companies are in business to make money, not shell it out.
