Maybe Washington should be paying more attention to what’s happening in the states when it comes to finding solutions to solving the health care issue in this country. Chris Rants is running for Governor of Iowa, and he’s come up with 4 ideas to improve health care. You know he’s not the only candidate out there trying to create or identify solutions that Washington might be missing – but he’s the one in the news right now. The truth is, Washington can work better if it works harder at looking for solutions to the nation’s problems by looking where they grow more plentiful….out in the nation.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Rants is touting four ideas he says could raise the quality and lower the cost of health care in Iowa. “Some of these proposals are common sense, practical solutions (like) electronic health records,” Rants says. “Making a commitment that the state should enable that is something that I think both parties should be able to agree upon.”
In addition to calling for all medical records in Iowa to be digitized within four years, Rants proposes adjusting the system of reimbursing hospitals for the care provided to Medicare and Medicaid patients. Rants says high-quality care should be rewarded with the highest payments.
