Health Care Reform on One Page

With all the debate about health care reform, it really can be quite simple. Here is my one page plan. Tell me your thoughts and don't hesitate to share it with your favorite Congressperson or President.

The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall develop regulations to enact the intentions of Congress to reform the United States health care industry as described below:

1 - Interstate marketing of health insurance plans. Insurance companies shall be permitted to offer and sell health insurance plans across state lines so long as they otherwise conform to insurance regulatory requirements of the individual states.

2 - Requirement for Medical Doctor Counseling. All insurance plans and programs marketed and offered in the United States shall provide for once per year for each person covered by such plan one hour of medical doctor counseling as to health risks, treatment plans and health practices to reduce risks and treatment costs.
