My Revised Health Care Cost Coverage Proposal is Back Online
Brian Griffin | 12/10/2018 | Brian Griffin

Posted on 12/10/2018 11:23:47 AM PST by Brian Griffin

Its fundamental principle is giving insurers negotiating power.

Imagine if Aunt Sue's insurer had to buy exactly A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I and J.

The price on each would be high and the total price via premiums would be impoverishing for Aunt Sue.

Imagine instead if Aunt Sue's insurer only had to buy at least eight of the ten for Aunt Sue to get a federal tax credit.

Each seller would realize that their yearly revenue from Aunt Sue might be zero. Deals would be offered and good deals made.

Aunt Sue would probably wind up with all ten and at a much lower cost.

The actual text of my proposal, on my home page, in need of further work, would only be of interest to lawmakers, health coverage administrators and insurer/drug company/lobby association CEOs and lawyers.

I now hold the belief that the PPACA will have to be reformed piecemeal due to its complexity.

Reform is needed because millions of Americans like me are still without coverage and tens of millions have junk coverage.

There is no need to congratulate me on my 25th anniversary of being without health care cost coverage.

Democrats should know well, I do not look forward to resting in peace.

They should only “have to” buy what Aunt Sue’s insurance coverage says they have to buy.

We’ve been without health insurance since the day Obamacare became the law of the land, 1/1/2014. We both turn 65 early next year. We’ve saved a bundle. Actually VERY significant five figures.

I don’t have the faintest idea what this incomprehensible gibberish is or means. More importantly why exactly do you think wasting bandwidth is a good thing?

There’s a “to get a federal tax credit” part of the sentence.

Aunt Sue could buy whatever an insurer wants to sell, with her own money, and not a dime of Uncle Sam’s.

If you are one of those types of people, use the bandwidth to learn. Otherwise, save Jim some money.

“why exactly do you think...”

Because in less than one month the Democrats can block all health care cost coverage reform, possibly until the day we’re all dead.

It’s easy to criticize people, but hard to understand the Internal Revenue Code.

This “explanation” still makes absolutely no sense at all. What are you trying to communicate?

Are you serious? Aunt Sue is dying to know.

Do something useful with your time.
