National health reform bills in the U.S. Senate and House would exempt Hawaii, protecting the state's 35-year-old Prepaid Healthcare Act, which has led to one of the lowest uninsured rates in the country and low premiums for workers.
Having moved to Hawaii from California State, I must say that I remain very impressed with Health Care in Hawaii. Not only are my medical insurance rates lower by almost half, for equivalent care and coverage, but I find the care here to be more efficient, more comprehensive, more thorough and more preventative.
And, I might add, the cost for insurance in Hawaii is also considerably less for automobile and homeowner's.
Go figure.

who knew? I would live to at least visit Hawii if not live there. I need to sell some here first I suspect. Thanks for the post
Maybe the federal government should look toward Hawaii for answers.
Douglas, I'm with Todd. Please do share more about the plan. How does it work?
Marchel - All Hawaii employers are legally required to provide all employees, including part-time employees, with health care. Some say it contributes to lay offs and unemployemtn, but with costs comparatively low, it seems to be working. I find the healthcare here in Hawaii to be ten times better than in California, where I lived for ten years.
