HillaryCare and RomneyCare offer variations of a failed health care system

Senator Hilary Clinton and Governor Mitt Romney offer variations of failed health care systems that need addressing with intelligence. Politicians own drug and insurance companies from both parties and needs reconstruction for the well-being of people especially the elderly.
The health care system has not failed children in need of medical care and vaccines required to enter schools. Romney claims that the republicans solved the problem of health care in the state of Massachusetts by not having the government take it. Reality to Romney's statement is not true, as elderly in the state of Massachusetts could not receive medical treatment or prescriptions needed due to lack of medical insurance. The Massachusetts plan has limits leaving people without proper care.

Clinton's health care reform law and Romney Massachusetts reform law mandate universal health care coverage and subsidized health care for people with low incomes. What is not fair is the Clinton plan will increase taxes at higher income levels for people who are on Medicare type plans. Subsidized health care does not cover all issues needed to maintain health of that of the elderly and middle age society and high-income level people should not have to pay the bill, as they have their own expenses.

Clinton and Romney health care plans are not as harsh as Rudy Giuliani is. Giuliani's plan is to have more people buy private health plans suggesting costs will lower more than half. This could work if the health plans are economically affordable and the economic issues provide higher paying jobs and lower the cost of living. Most people today want private insurance if affordable as government benefits lack full coverage.

Private insurance to employees was free of charge years ago before the dilemma of high cost in health care forcing employers to deduct wages to cover the cost. Some insurance companies' debate with doctors' offices about specialty treatment needed for a patient to cut costs down. The theory "no person should be without health care" is a good theory but reality shows many people especially the elderly go without proper treatment due to lack of coverage.

Failed health care systems will rise with Clinton and Romney supporting government health care and eliminating private health care because government health care has a limit of services where peoples' health are at risk for other medical needs that the government just won't pay.
