ACA replacement
By: Aulton Date: March 27, 2014, 1:05 pm

[font=georgia]In the 1930s, President Franklin Roosevelt began a
campaign to construct and maintain U.S. Public Health Service
(USPHS) Hospitals, to serve the Military, veterans, and the
general public. Until 1981, the hospitals operated inpatient and
outpatient services, emergency, surgery, and rehabilitation
wards. In 1980, President Ronald Reagan announced plans to close
or sell all such hospitals.
To replace the ACA, which is forcing people to purchase
insurance and subsides with huge deductibles, I suggest that the
United States Public Health Service reinstate the U.S Public
Health Service Hospital system. The USPHS would obtain
facilities or co-locate with community based health departments
to serve the uninsured and Medicaid patients. The program can be
staffed by USPHS and working with state medical schools to
provide doctors, Physician Assistants(PA), Nurse
Practitioners(NP) and Interns. The State can mandate that all
licensed physicians perform some Pro Bono services as a
requirement to be licensed in the state. While performing in the
USPHS they would be covered by Government service umbrella and
no additional malpractice insurance. Local community based
facilities, such as health departments, can provide basic health
services and referrals to larger USPHS Hospitals for more
advanced treatments and diagnostic procedures.
Any person requesting a federal student loan for medical,
nursing or any medical technical specialty be required to
perform with USPHS on a year for year basis. Service can be at
the USPHS hospital or if needed at local Public Health Service
facilities.
This would be creating local jobs for medical administration as
well as practitioners in local communities. Many hospitals
throughout the country have had to lay off workers and staff due
to loss of revenue. This provides a skilled pool from which to
draw from. It would also encourage people to enter the medical
area for needed workers. It would open the doors for PAs and NP
as well as support staff. Creating jobs and providing the
medical care desired.
The funding could come from the Medicaid as well as the funding
from the ACA subsidies funding. All persons already under
Medicaid would be covered. Any person can apply based upon a
needs base and sliding scale for co pays and service fees.
This service would provide for the underserved population
providing health services without deductibles. The Veterans
Health Administration provides a similar service for all
Veterans. Costs are based upon a needs base and scale. The USPHS
could be developed to provide the same services to the uninsured
and low income.
Insurance companies would fight this tooth and nail because; it
takes away the one trillion dollars from them and gives it to
the people for medical treatment. People that are employed and
have insurance will still have their insurance and their
doctors. Most Doctors now are refusing Medicaid patients for all
sorts of excuses but really because Medicaid does not pay but a
fraction for the Doctors fees.
I know there would have to be a lot of work defining this
program but, we start with a premise and develop the program.

It is very easy to understand. I'm hard to share this useful
story with my friends.
