Did you even read the article?

It basically liberalizes the laws restricting the relationship between the patient and doctor and gives the patient much more control (buying insurance across state lines, medical savings accounts, etc.).

I certainly don't mean to disagree but "liberalizing laws" and "giving patients 'more' control" isn't doing much more than moving the chairs on the deck of the Titanic!

I'm interested only in first step, scrapping in total, Obamacare, then agreeing that medical savings accounts that admit Americans have a vested interested in their own medical decisions - not some nameless, faceless bureaucracy, regardless of which party is dreaming up the rules!

You are correct in pointing out that our "being allowed to purchase insurance across state lines."

That we haven't been "permitted" to do so up to now, has been a collusion between the industry and our government, to protect insurance prices.
