While I would get the federal government completely out of the healthcare industry, this plan is good enough for now.
Agreed. What are they doing designing plans? Presumably keeping mandates such as to cover adults up to age 26 on their parents’ plans without additional cost? Etc. Etc. Where is the interstate competition? Who are they to tell insurance companies how much and for how long they can/should/must charge a premium for those who haven’t maintained consistent coverage?
All this stuff is none of the federal government’s business. And the free market should be able to come up with whatever types of plans are viable and attract customers in the market.
But, if this is the best they can somehow bring themselves to do for now, let’s at least get to this step and then move on with further deregulation in the future.
Agreed that I want the govt out of health care. If not, subsidize all of major medical plans. $20,000 deductible per person. If you want anything better you need to purchase yourself on the open market.
Wait till they start taxing your healthcare insurance to fund it. Then we'll see how good you think it is.
Agreed - the government was so entwined in health care before ObamaCare that it would have taken several phases to get it out - now it's even more complex. Progress is progress....
