1) Send to Trump the same repeal that you sent to Obama
2) Create “standard” and “color coded” policies as defined by HHS. For example, RED would be high deductible + HSA type account. GREEN would be low deductible, high premium EPO/PPO account. Add an A/B/C distinguishing the allowance of pre existing conditions indicator. GREEN/A would indicate no preexisting conditions. GREEN/B would indicate some limit on preexisting and GREEN/C would indicate that preexisting conditions were allowed.
Allow companies who comply with the standards verified by HHS, to sell insurance into the national market place.
3) Allow all businesses to deduct the cost of both HSAs as well as insurance for all employees - 101% for less than 40 hour workers and 102% for full time workers
4) Allow individuals to tax deduct premiums, co-pays and out of pocket expenses from their individual taxes.
5) Wait 4 years before making any other adjustments and let the market heal itself from the Dem interference
I think my idea in Post #11 is better. Get the HHS the hell out of health insurance, period.
The only function of "public health care" on a national level is to protect the public from infectious diseases that can spread across large swaths of the population. That's it.
The last thing we need is an arrangement where the U.S. Secretary of Health will invariably become a paid whore of the insurance industry.
We need to separate pre-existing pool & high risk pool. Not all pre-existing are high risk.
