My question? What replaces Obamacare if it is repealed? How is it done? IOW they have done so much damage to the present medical system in its entirety that it literally may be Humpty Dumptys broken and irreparable crown. It looks like a restart from ground zero will be necessary and that may bring about almost as much pain and suffering as Pelosie’s poison pill.
RE: My question? What replaces Obamacare if it is repealed? How is it done?
If I were dictator for a week, here’s what I would do:
1) Revert everything to what we had before Obamacare was singed into law.
2) Open up COMPETITION of health care providers across state lines.
3) Tax credit to everyone for opening up a personal health savings account that is portable regardless of one’s employment situation. Offer individuals who are uninsured, self-employed, or working at a small business tax credits for health coverage to help them be able to buy a plan and keep it.
NO MANDATED COVERAGE.
4) REDUCE tort litigation, awards, damages and/or compensation.
5) Allow small businesses to band together for coverage – like large corporations do – to negotiate a better deal for health coverage.
6) Let States set up high-risk pools that ensure access to coverage for people with pre-existing conditions. Have insurance companies share the costs of treating high-risk individuals.
