Medical Insurance

The responsibility for health insurance should rest on the individual. Some people choose which company they will work for based on who offers the better insurance. In this day and age, most employers realize this and offer some sort of insurance. Government should have no input or responsibility. The only think government can do to help people is to place limits on frivolous lawsuits. People don't realize that when doctors get sued, their insurance pays, then passes along the cost in the way of premiums to the doctor, who in turn passes that cost along to his patients. I'm not saying all lawsuits should be thrown out, but some of the stupid ones should. Health insurance is expensive, but government has shown no interest in making wise decisions with money. They would be the worst ones to deal with it. The cost of health care would be the same, but that's because of red tape and programs. Doctors would make less, meaning fewer people would become doctors, so ultimately health care would suffer.
