I’d recommend less government control.
Sell across state lines.
No mandate.
Tort reform.
Catastrophic insurance for those who want it.
Insurance coverage is not a right. But health care can be more affordable if the marketplace has a bigger role and the government has a smaller role.
My question is what the President would be recommending. If you listen to him on the subject during the campaign then nothing that Congress has come up with has been close. Yet Trump has jumped on every one as if it were the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Sell across state lines.
Five states already allow it and in not a single one has an insurance company sold a premium. There is no interest on the part of the companies to sell across state lines. There's nothing in it for them.
No mandate.
Included in most proposals I've seen. But that doesn't mean the President is on board with it.
Tort reform.
Over 50 states have enacted tort reform capping the payout on malpractice cases. And in not a single one of them is there any evidence that it has reduced health care premiums. Malpractice insurance premiums, yes. But not health care premiums.
Catastrophic insurance for those who want it.
I don't disagree with that in principle. I think it's very short-sighted on the part of the policy holder but it's their mistake to make.
Insurance coverage is not a right. But health care can be more affordable if the marketplace has a bigger role and the government has a smaller role.
How about just repealing Obamacare and getting government out of it entirely?
Correction. Over 26 states have enacted tort reform. Not enough coffee this morning I guess.
