Republican Party = the gang that couldn’t shoot straight
bump
I guess your prediction, about Scott....from last night, came true!
And wants attention.
Put all the Republicans in a room. Don’t give them any food or water until they all sign off on a straight repeal.
Primary their a$$es out. If the American people want health care as a right, they can ask for a constitutional amendment.
Combine high deductible insurance with Health Savings Accounts and let the market work.
Great cartoonist, but completely clueless here.
The government doesn’t need to get involved in ranking startups. We just need to undo all the bad legislation that has squeezed free market price discovery, etc. Congress needs to roll back the bad legislation they have passed since WWII.
Congress does not need to “think like a company” and the public doesn’t have to “come up with a plan”. Congress just needs to start repealing Obamacare and then keep repealing all the other bad legislation they passed re: healthcare in the decades before that.
#1 healthcare cost = lawyers/lawsuits. Not going to get congress critters to limit lawsuits.
Indeed. I think what he is proposing is more or less "public drafting" of legislation, where the proposed legislation doesn't come out of K-street.
Sundance, at CTH, pointed out long ago that Trump has a systematic problem, because unlike the uniparty (which has hoards of lawyers and lobbyists composing legislation for them), Trump came into power with no resource for creating statutory and regulatory language - and the existing resources who perform that function are hostile to Trump's agenda.
As long as our Congressional reps are captives of the insurance industry and the ins industry writes the laws, I see miniscule chance for anything but token cost reductions. The cost of medical care is driven for the most part by the implied franchise the ins industry has on 1/6th of the entire US economy. If you had that, you wouldn’t give it up either.
PROPOSAL
All health insurance companies must offer a $1 dollar per month healthcare plan.
That is the total premium maximum: $1 dollar.
PASS IT, NOW!
- TheNext
For starters he might want to learn how to spell healthcare.
Denningers solution is the route to take. No ones even talking about it because everyone is trying to figure out how to placate the voters while still keeping the monster gravy train rolling...
