| Residents sound off about healthcare reform bill
Some say the country can't handle the cost and say it will put private insurance companies out of business. "I think the health care system needs to be, quote unquote 'fixed,' but this is not the fix," Adele Lester said. Others argue that something has to be done to cover the 46 million Americans without health insurance. "It's not a right," John Alessi said. "It's something that everybody should have. Everybody should have healthcare." "Clearly what we're trying to do is make sure that everyone has some kind of coverage option," Maffei told the crowd. "How are we supposed to pay for this?" Jean Smith asked. Smith says the Democrats' bill would mean more national debt, and for some, higher taxes. "I have read through a lot of this bill," she said.
Health Insurance Cooperatives Are Another Alternative
Of all the options on the table regarding health care reform, one we have not heard much about is health insurance cooperatives. Back in June, Sen. Kent Conrad (D-ND) raised the proposal of a nonprofit health insurance cooperative to replace a public health care plan. According to a quote on The Wonk Room website, Conrad said that a health insurance cooperative “would have the same plans and would be subject to the same standards" as private insurance plans, and that a cooperative “would provide an alternative to for-profit insurance companies." A “cooperative," as defined by the International Co-operative Alliance, is an autonomous group of people who come together voluntarily to meet their mutual economic, social, and cultural needs by forming a jointly-owned and democratically controlled entity.
