Saw the segment and checked on some old threads and links. This was their ‘plan’.

“Get businesses out of health care. Health care is not part of their core competencies but something they use as a part of labor relations. It creates job lock and distorts employers’ hiring and firing decisions.” Feb 7, 2007

“An earmarked tax directly links the expansion
of the cost of a basic benefits
package with the public’s willingness
to increase taxes. Services beyond basic
care are paid with after-tax income,
which ensures that users
weigh costs against benefits. A systematic
assessment of technology
and outcomes limits the use of services
that have high costs relative to
their benefit.”
