As Edward K. B. McKenzie said on The Red Green Show, “This is one problem ya can’t fix with duct tape.”.

Then allow health insurance sales across state lines. Allow the free market to work.

Just that in itself would be 100% better than zero care.

I don't see where that would help at all. And as for Obamacare the only solution is to drive a stake through its heart and accept the fact that there is nothing the government can do to effectively address the issue of health care for all Americans.

Then, INDEPENDENTLY, enact things such as tort reform (e.g., loser pays)...

Tort reform has been enacted in about half the states. In none of them have medical health premiums gone down. Malpractice premiums, yes. But healthcare costs, no.

...allow medical insurance to be marketed to other states...

If I live in Missouri why would I want to buy insurance from a company that does not do business here? And why would that company want to sell it to me?

It speaks volumes that the LATimes wants the same Collich Professers that caused the disaster to fix it. Yeah, right!

Phase two will be about controlling costs even more. You think it’s hard to actually use your healthcare insurance now, just wait.

So apparently a piece of legislation that amounted to more than 2,400 pages, and which spawned over 11,000 pages of regulations . . . still does not have enough pages.

Thank you Obozo, Pelosi and the Dumocratic Party - they passed it and now actually found out what’s in it.

Get the government totally out of medicine and insurance. We would go very quickly to having the very best and the cheapest and most rapidly advancing medicine in the world and stay there.

Dont allow insurance anything. Just eliminate all regulation of it. How it is it that states can regulate who can sell within them is a mystery given the Constitutional regulation of interstate commerce clause.

“And as for Obamacare the only solution is to drive a stake through its heart and accept the fact that there is nothing the government can do to effectively address the issue of health care for all Americans.”

That would accomplish far more than anything else that could be done but it makes too much sense to ever happen in this insane era. Only something totally stupid has a chance to be enacted into law now. We may as well turn the legal system over to the physicians since we have already turned health care over to the lawyers.
