The ideal health-care system

If you had the power to design your own health-care system, what would it look like?

This is the question participants will be asked Tuesday, Jan. 11, at a free forum, "My Healthcare, My Way," featuring State Sen. Bob Rucho, a Matthews Republican, and Alison Rose Levy, a health reporter for the New York Times.

The free program, sponsored by the Institute for Emerging Issues at N.C. State University, is from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Booth Playhouse in Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, 130 North Tryon Street.

Rucho will kick off the event by describing North Carolina's health-care challenges. Levy will share her thoughts on patient responsibility for health.

Then, the tables will be turned, and participants will be asked for their opinions about how to design the best health-care system.

Free market. Get the government out of health care. Since government has taken over the health care system in the 1960's prices have escalated dramitically. Everything government touches turns to crap.

Haha agreed-they seem to mess it all up. I wish to see universal healthcare in this country, at least in every state, we are very behind in this unfortunately :(

Eating the right foods and tryin to get in figure the next time but it depends in how many calories you burn and calories based on your weight and time spent exercising. Simple way reduce your weight is do proper exercises such as running, jumping. And seeing the calorie controlled diet reviews everyday.
