Yes to tort reform. There are lawyers whose only reason for breathing is to railroad Doctors.
Yes to complete portability. Health insurance should be managed just like car insurance, buy what you need and when, and from who. Must be able to shop across state lines.
Must make medicaid a temporary solution
Every child has two parents regardless of marital status and parents should have the responsibility for their care and well being, the burden shouldn't be upon only one parent or the State or Fed Gov. Courts to enforce court orders on child support and providing health insurance, could be a place to start.
A persons health should be shared only with the provider of choice and medical records should remain with that provider until the patient requests a release of information, not the record . The record itself is the property of the provider just like the records in any other business.

1. Tort reform. Loser pays and pain & suffering caps of $250,000.00. You insurance now pays for ridiculous awards.

2. Make health insurance completely portable. No matter what happens to your job you still have the same insurance as long as you want to have it.

3. Make it possible to purchase insurance across state lines. Let us have competition between thousands of insurers rather than a handful.

4. End state and federal mandates. Mandates that you don't need (birth control for a man? Viagra for 25 year old female?) cost you hundreds of dollars each month. End them. Let people buy what they need, it will be cheaper for everybody.

5. Make Medicaid a temporary bootstrap solution for those of us who get into a situation where they need help.

Done. Problem solved and no big, omnipresent government “solution” needed.
