Who says we have to have one? Only the lefty’s...
I didn’t read this yet, but I have to say that is quite a name the author has: Napp Nazworth, it’s like something out of a Damon Runyon story.
We don’t need a republican alternative to obama care!!!
ability to sell policies across state lines
portability
tort reform
One of the many problems is that this solution means LESS GOVERNMENT - MUCH less government. Seems that leaders on both sides of the isle don't like that answer. Both seem to have a personal stake in at least maintaining the level of government size and interference in our lives.
Nevertheless, free market capitalism is the subtle yet powerful and most effective solution to poverty known to man. Market and personal freedom should be shouted from the mountaintops these days as the absolute refutation to Socialism.
The whole justification for O’care was the idea that vast numbers of people are out there without insurance.
But insurance was always available if you could afford it. That was the rub.
Under O’care, prices are tripling and you get a policy that doesn’t actually cover anything. If you couldn’t afford it before, how do you afford it now?
Dems say, if you don’t like our wrecking ball, whats your alternative? My alternative is to repeal the wrecking ball.
The government has no business being in healthcare to begin with.
STOP EXEMPTING THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY FROM LAWS THAT BAN RESTRAINT OF TRADE.
Here's an article on that very topic by Karl Denninger, from his Market Ticker blog:
An Example Of The Health-Care Rape
If you don't want to click and read, here's a worthy sample:
Those practices are supposed to be a felony. So says the Sherman and Clayton Act (15 USC §1-3). So says (in respect to commodities) Robinson-Patman (15 USC §13).
So where are the prosecutions? They're missing, because we also have McCarran-Ferguson that exempts insurance companies from most of the Sherman and Clayton act (explicitly!) and that, along with other laws, effectively exempts the medical industry from laws that prohibit this behavior in virtually every other line of business.
As a direct consequence these 4,000% price disparities exist.
As a direct consequence you pay 4,000% more, directly and indirectly, than you should.
Let the States control.
Don’t need one.
Things were fine before the Obamacare trainwreck.
But if I were going to do it about the only think I could thin of would be allowing insurance shopping across state lines.
How about freedom?
Who cares what the Republican alternatives are. What is the solution period?
>> If Republicans are successful at replacing the Affordable Care Act
Replace? Repeal. Period.
This is the Uniparty in action. They dicker over methods but the agenda moves forward.
TWO WORDS... FREE MARKET!
In 2014:
1.) Repeal Obamcare, entirely.
2.) Abolish, foever, any Mandated “Insurance.”
3.) Privatize Medicaid.
4.) Privatize Medicare.
5.) Privatize Disability payments.
6.) Privatize Aid to dependent children.
7.) Privatize Rent subsidies.
8.) Privatize Student Loans.
9.) Abolish Medical Emergency Hospital Care Laws.
10.) Put a low cap on medical lawsuit damages.
11.) Have an automatic Show-Cause, Pass-Fail Impeachment Review every 6 months for all Federal Politicians.
12.) Privatize Social Security.
13.) Abolish the IRS, Department of Socialist Education, and the NSA.
14.) Restrict all Executive Orders to their original restrictions: instructions to the White House gardeners and cooks.
Status quo four years ago was far better. Status quo, but with insurance companies allowed to sell policies across state lines is far better. Status quo, except with reduced restrictions on the practice of medicine and on innovation would be far better. There are lots of conservative proposals, and almost anything would be better than ObamaCare. Libs are lying when they pretend there are no GOP proposals that are better than ObamaCare; all proposals are better, which is how Pelosi designed ObamaCare when she wanted it as a bridge to SinglePayer.
The federal government should withdraw completely from any matters involving health with the exception of public health hazards across state lines.
The federal government should transition out of Medicare and Medicare by promoting a transition of physicians into retainer fee medicine with legislation binding on ***states*** that clinics and hospitals are to provide a minimum of 10% pro bono service to the indigent population. That means for example one 4-hour morning or one 4-hour afternoon per week by each clinic or hospital will be dedicated to those with the inability to pay.
Further federal legislation binding on states should restrict state insurance commissioners from prohibiting clinics and hospitals from purchasing reinsurance direct for referrals to specialists.
Further legislation binding on states should allow clinics and hospitals to set up their own reserves for monthly coverage plans that is audited and confirmed by a Certified Public Accountant as meeting standards of accounting practice.
The above points are designed to allow doctors to break free of the grip that health insurance companies have on their ability to practice.
Physicians who operate under retainer fee agreements without Medicare, Medicaid or insurance company reimbursments report that they have much more quality time with their patients and as a consequence are able to make better medical decisions and dispense better medical advice.
The goal if to bring patient and physiciian closer together with minimal third party interference.
Um - My alternative to Obamacare?? How about just LEAVE US ALONE? And get those folks who need it some sort of assistance? That doesn’t take too awfully much thinking does it?
What are the alternatives to ObamaCare?
How about;
Free enterprise
Liberty
Freedom
