Essay/Commentary:  "THe Real Problems of American Health Care"

         THere is no doubt that the American Health Care system is broken, as evidenced by health-related bankruptcies and exorbitant insurance premiums for too many of us. One major problem is executive pay and perks. THe astronomical cost of insurance and health care will never be controllable as long as executives (even at so-called non-profit corporations) pull in six or seven figure salaries, perks, stock options, and obscene pensions as well. Another way to control the cost of health care and insurance is to limit paper work. Make things as simple as possible and save it digitally or electronically.
In addition, all health care in this country should be non-profit. Without the incentive of profit, more money can go toward actual health care. Lastly, the only real way to control skyrocketing health care and insurance costs it to change to a single-payer system like most developed countries have. Obamacare isn't quite there, but at least it's a start.
