Letter to President Obama

President Obama,

I viewed some poor foreign relations played out while you were walking down the aisle with President Medvedev. I believe you should have confronted these gentlemen directly and asked them kindly if they had a problem and why they were not shaking your hand. Maybe you should invite them over to the Whitehouse for a glass of water. The Russians should definitely be our friends and miscommunication between our countries need to be corrected immediately. Our domestic relations are deeply intertwined with our foreign relationships. We must keep them in a positive direction. This Healthcare Reform can be corrected very easily and very quickly if you changed the application for medicaid to read: Anyone making $100,000 or less in a family of 3 qualifies. Present financial documentation to apply. No other disqualifiers. -- Erase all prior qualifications for the application, and immediately we will have a significant change in Health and Health Care in the United States. It is THAT easy. But of course why do something simple that you can change TOMORROW, when you can do something COMPLEX and create a brand new layer of tape to get Health Care. Perhaps you do not even know the qualifications for Medicaid? The system is in place, just fix it. The Health Care Insurance Industry needs to be trimmed. This would have an immediate affect on our economy. We already pay for Medicaid, just allow a lot more people utilize it and they won't have to pay their premiums anymore. They won't have to pay for Medicaid because they already do!! They will just the nominal co-pays. This would also put a positive revenue into the economy because people will not have to pay for their premiums and this could be an extra $500 a month for a lot of people. You could scribble out a few lines and put simple qualifications for Medicaid to allow for more of the working public could qualify, and you have an immediate correction in the market. It cannot get any clearer. Taking action is great, but let's do it intelligently. Have a great evening!

Sinecerely,

Paul Michael Owens
