3.Create an exemption for large businesses that are insolvent, or are nearing insolvency.
The expense of healthcare was one (of many) of the contributing factors that led to the demise of General Motors. When a company is insolvent, or nearing insolvency, then they have the right to apply for public health insurance. By doing so, a tremendous cost can be adverted, jobs can be saved, and bankruptcies can be avoided, thereby preserving the economy.
After solvency is reached, the employer must once again provide private healthcare after a period of time.
4.Set up a monitoring agency to oversee public healthcare and revise policy as times change.
An agency is required to determine what business is and is not a small business, and when a large business is and is not insolvent. This agency should also be tasked to provide liaisons to the businesses to steer them through the process, ensuring the stability of American industry.
5.Attach these provisions to a bill in Congress.
If a healthcare bill came to a vote and contained the previsions listed herein, it would be difficult if not impossible for a number of moderates and conservatives to vote against the public option, even those members of Congress who take large contributions from the private insurance industry.
By providing public healthcare to only those who need it, by helping small businesses create jobs, by averting the future collapse of big businesses, and by providing a mandate that large companies purchase private insurance, there's no reason to vote "no," no matter what party a politician claims allegiance to.
