That would mean eliminating Medicare and Medicaid.
Good luck with that.
Ummmmmm......You plan and work hard and sacrifice so you can pay for your own health care?
Why not let the private sector figure it out.
My solution is pretty simple. Make it voluntary. If you want it you can have it. Period.
Those programs are failures. The Great Society, New Deal, programs are bankrupt failures.
I don’t fall for the red herring argument of “oh yeah, well what are the republicans going to do?”
First, most problems the left tries to solve are invented problems and don’t exist. Second, the left invents problems to further tyranny. Third, leftist solutions are so deplorable they innevitably lead to genocide. History has proven this time after time.
I’m not a fan of making the tax code even more complex, but it sure beats what we’re stuck with currently.
We have to break the link between employment and “health insurance”.
This artifact of WW2 price controls has caused many of the problems we have today.
Job mobility (vital in the terrible economy we have under Obama) is impaired by this link.
RE: We have to break the link between employment and “health insurance”.
That’s EXACTLY what the Republican plan aims to do...
FROM THE ARTICLE:
The EPFA provides the tax deduction to the individual, rather than, as in current law, through an employer. This means that all Americans would get the same tax deduction, regardless of whether or not they get their insurance through their employer. Additionally, health plans would stay with the individual. So, health insurance purchased through an employer would stay with an individual even if they left their job or moved to another state.
Excellent! Thanks for the info.
I just got my annual physical today and my doctor was ranting about all the billionaire Democrats saying millionaire Republicans are the problem.
Uh... how about none?
Who says we have to have one? Only the lefty’s...
NOT!
Our health insurance system was working just fine. Were there exceptions - someone didn't think they got a good response from their insurance company? YES! But those occurrences were not the norm. Insurance companies weren't "constantly refusing to pay for doctors visits/hospital bills"! They didn't refuse coverage to EVERYONE who'd ever had a cold or a nosebleed! I got very good responses from my plan.
I never had to think much about my health plan and that's what you want. Something that just works and you don't have to worry about it. I'm sorry to disappoint liberals, but almost everyone I knew had health ins. and it worked well!
Now, all that is gone. All the plans that were working are now gone. They had to be banished so that those people could get Obama's version of good health coverage. Even if the atrocity that is Obamacare is repealed, I don't think we'll ever be able to get those old plans back.
