IF UTAH DOES NOT WANT A FEDERAL HEALTH INSURANCE, THEN THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD ACT INSTEAD OF TALK

We hear Utahns complain all around us that they do not want a federal government health care program. Utah’s government leaders have so far distributed their own weight in words on the subject.

Utah’s government should stop talking and act to bring the force of law into health care reformation.

RIGHT ASCENSION'S CALL TO ACTION

I urge the legislature to pass laws mandating that insurance companies doing business in Utah must pay for

1. Mental health treatments. The brain is just another organ in the body and should get equal access to health care.

2. Allopathic, Ayurvedic, Chinese, Chiropractic, and Osteopathic medicines. If it works for patients, then insurance should pay the doctors.

3. dental treatments

4. preventative health care treatments.


5. the design of one standardized set of forms for all insurance companies doing business in Utah.

I urge the legislature to pass laws mandating insurance companies cannot --

6. make profits. They should pay for health care and employee salaries where the highest salaries can only range 20 times higher than the slowest salaries.

7. cancel a policy except for any deliberate lie on the application form.
