Regulate, don't Operate .. that is the rightful position for the government on health care.

We need better regulations to:

1. Use a standard, electronic reporting forms for all insurance companies,
   
2. Make tort reform regulations so doctors don't order extra tests to protect themselves against lawsuits,
   
3. Require doctors and hospitals to disclose the cost of treatment in advance,
   
4. Empower nurses to perform more routine medical care tasks,
   
5. Prevent doctors from owning laboratory test facilities where they send patients - this is conflict of interest,
   
6. Allow all American citizens to purchase health insurance,
   
7. Standardize health care plans so Americans can easily shop and choose for health insurance like they would automobile insurance,
   
8. Prevent price fixing to encourage competition among insurance providers,
   
9. And more

We don't  need government to OPERATE health care.

There is the short and sweet and to the point health care sound bite.

REGULATE. DON'T OPERATE.
