American Billionaires
American Billionaires
I realize Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and others have
committed to giving away much of their wealth. I do not know the extent of
their philanthropy or the projects they fund. But I do know there are millions
of their fellow Americans who can’t pay their medical bills due to the sorry
state of health insurance in this country. So, I have a suggestion. These
billionaires should contact all the hospitals throughout the country and offer
to pay these bills at fifty cents on the dollar, since hospitals overcharge,
with the condition that those patients in debt be cleared of that debt in
writing. Or, the billionaires could buy an insurance company and create the
mission to accept pre-existing conditions and maintain a liberal policy toward
coverage and a reduction of premiums as part of their philanthropic efforts. Just
an idea.
