As the 6 year former employee of a for-profit health care company, I believe the 1st step is to force ALL health care companies to be "Not For Profit". This would take the entire concept of shareholders out of the mix. What I saw in my 6 years was that the cost of health care kept going up because {I believe} the stockholders wanted and expected to continue getting higher and higher returns from their investments. I finally left the job because I could not continue doing the work with a clear conscience. I worked for a health care company, and my 20 year old daughter had {and still has} no health care coverage as a 3/4 time collage student. I do not know how to get my idea passed, but I will continue to hope something will happen that is beneficial. I would love to see health care reform pass, but I do not think it will…yet.
