A cardiologist and also a republican competing for the 15^th Congressional District, Dr. Robert Steele of Ypsilanti, spoke about the national health care reform proposal in two angles. He was the guest speaker at a business forum sponsored by the Southern Wayne County Regional Chamber at Crystal Gardens.

On August 3, during the Republican primary, Mr. Steele will face three candidates for a chance to run against Dingell in a general election on November 2.  Since 1955, Dingell has been a member of Congress and is recognized as a supporter of a national health care plan.

Lawmakers in Washington, DC came up to the issue over universal health care which has been the topic of most national debates since last year and early this year.

“Waste in the nation’s health care system”— that’s what Steele oversee as the biggest problem.

Unnecessary care may mean a $850 billion-waste in a year.  But advocates of the new health care law think that routine check ups in emergency hospitals that detect problems more accurately could help prevent unnecessary care.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, named by Steele as insurer of last resort, is believed to provide affordable and well-organized health insurance to people.
