No tax benefits to employers. no different tax treatment of medicine form any other business. Any tax”benefits” simply raise the cost of medicine to those who do not qualify for the benefit and raise it overall to pay the bureaucrats who administer it. The Federal government needs to be totally removed from medicine and insurance. It has no Constitutional mandate to be involved in either beyond guaranteeing weights and measures and, perhaps derivatively, truth in advertising. ALL government involvement raises the price and diminishes access.
“the cost of medicine”
If you can cut the cost even 5%, Aetna will be glad to have met you.
“The Federal government needs to be totally removed from medicine”
So can I assume Article I, Section 8 patents for drugs are out?
Those 100% Constitutional patents are responsible for about 80% of the pre-PPACA pre-existing condition exclusions.
“pay the bureaucrats who administer it”
My plan is designed to be run mainly by computers.
Subsidies are computed using federal tax information (and state computer-supplied birth certificate and unemployment filing information).
One person can set up and administer a drug coverage plan covering millions.
How?
One rule- no appeals allowed.
No appeals - no appeal bureaucrats.
