Return to the pre-Obama programs. Re-write the Medicaid law to take care of pre-existing exclusions from private insurance carriers and allow insurance companies to operate across state borders.

Yes.

That’s the way the Founders set it up.

That’s the ultimate Constitutional fix.

I like your starting steps, but a couple more measures would put more power in the hands of individuals.

Individually tax deductible insurance premiums.
Pre-tax contributions to personal and family HSAs.
Tort reform.

2 - Pass a law stating that emergency rooms do not have to take people who can’t pay.

I would be careful with this. You never know what is going to happen. You might be one time in a situation where you have to go to the emergency room and can not pay.

With people like you it's no wonder the left hates us.

Shame on you

anyone who advocates that hospitals must provide their services even to those who can not pay is advocating slavery.

would you also require restraunts to serve for free the hungry?

or that hotels or landlords provide free housing for those with no home who can’t pay?

I mean.. why stop with just medical care!

The timing for this legislation is great for Republicans who just came off of a special election win in Florida where Democrat Alex Sink lost by running on a fix, don't repeal platform.

By presenting a 'fix, don't repeal' program.

Republicans. Never. Learn.

Who cares why liberals hate us. I’m sure they don’t care why I hate them.

No business shoud be required to accept someone who can’t pay.

Shame on you for believing they should.

Unfortunately, most of the republican ‘alternatives’ also kept the ‘pre-existing conditions’ clause as well.

Most GOPe want pre-paid medicine with first dollar coverage, not real health insruance.

“Let the bidding begin!”

The media will portray this debate as “Who is promising to give you the most money?”

There goes any anti-Obamacare advantage we had.

IIRC, we already have pre-tax contributions to HSA’s. I have one, and now that you mention it I’m going to have to go back and verify that.

Like your other two add’s. Well done. Agree, Tort reform IS needed to bring costs down.

Here’s a twist that would make libs’ heads explode -

the HSA is inheritable without tax burden.
