Reform means to put or change into an improved form or condition; to amend or improve by change of form or removal of faults or abuses. beneficial change, more specifically, reversion to a pure original state, to repair, restore or to correct. Reform is generally distinguished from revolution. The latter means basic or radical change; whereas reform may be no more than fine tuning, or at most redressing serious wrongs without altering the fundamentals of the system. Reform seeks to improve the system as it stands, never to overthrow it wholesale. Radicals on the other hand, seek to improve the system, but try to overthrow whether it be the government or a group of people themselves. During the Philadelphia Convention of 1787, for example, the New Jersey Plan would have reformed the existing constitution, the Articles of Confederation. By contrast, the Virginia Plan proposed to completely rewrite the nation's fundamental charter, and create a new constitution. Virginia's more revolutionary approach prevailed and resulted in the U.S. Constitution. Likewise today, many reforms are proposed in the United States Congress which aim to improve the system. For example, campaign finance reform would modify the way elections in the United States are financed, but would not change the basic nature of the offices at stake. Rotation in office or term limits would, by contrast, be more revolutionary, in altering basic political connections between incumbents and constituents. The UK government frequently uses the term "reform" to describe changes to public services, such as the National Health Service. However, these changes are not universally accepted as beneficial . Developing countries may carry out a wide range of reforms to improve their living standards, often with support from international financial institutions and aid agencies. This can include reforms to macroeconomic policy, the civil service, and public financial management. From Wikipedia under the

America does have the best health care system in the world, but at the same time there is greed and corruption in insurance companies. We all know that a public option is simply adding more government control, which just adds more socialism and problems. So what would be the conservative way to reform the American health care system? Asked by Al the traditional Catholic - Sat Oct 3 13:07:30 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Greater involvement of the Insurance companies. Perhaps catastrophic underwriting? Aid to purchase insurance policies for the poor. If you want quality at an affordable price, private industry is the only option. The govt cannot provide it.

Q. President Obama told the country that if we elect him he will reform health care. We elected him to do so. Now the bill has been drawn up and the republicans asked for a month to read it. It's not up for debate they get to read it then in September we will pass it with or without them. Asked by Bush Lied Millions Died - Wed Aug 12 18:23:30 2009 - - 26 Answers - 0 Comments A. I believe that everyone should be allowed to debate the bill. However, Republicans have not offered any alternatives to health care reform other than "no." Thus, Democrats should feel free to put a robust health care bill without their support since there isn't any true debate going on. Even if Obama did everything the Republicans wanted, they'd still blame him for everything. Answered by Turtle Poser - Wed Aug 12 21:58:10 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Reform"
