Tim Nerenz Health Care Town Hall Speech

Thursday Night we heard Tim Nerenz at the Wausau Health Care Town Hall. Click here to read his speech! He had several great points... Tim Nerenz Health care Town Hall Speech

Here are some highlights:

"Here are two changes that Congress could write in one page and pass in a day that would cut out most of that wasted 40%. 1) Indemnify providers against lawsuits in which there is no criminal negligence alleged, and 2) eliminate 3rd party payer by using Health Savings Accounts to pay providers directly. That takes two of the biggest snouts out of the trough. "

"We all know what improves quality, reduces cost, and expands selection – choice and competition. Markets don’t work perfectly, but they work – we can’t say the same for government interventions. What keeps the small town auto mechanic honest? It’s not the policeman or the priest – it’s the second auto mechanic. "
