The proposed fixes in the article all presuppose that government is the solution. If you believe that I’ve got some lovely property to sell you.
More than one way to skin a government program.

ObamaCare™ took a huge chunk out of my paycheck. It took even more last year. I sure hope next year is better at health care renewal time.
Winning!
For instance, in June, with the support of Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the Trump administration’s Department of Labor finalized a rule permitting sole proprietors, employees of small businesses, and small business owners with a “commonality of interest”—such as living in the same state or working in the same industry—to join together to purchase association health plans.
Since then all the small mutual insurance companies have been bought out and centralized...……………..
My hero. Sigh.
You should be able to buy insurance a la carte.
Sean Hannity had on some doctors who had low cost plans. This should be nationwide.
Funerals are where you get your real savings!

AHPs allow thousands of people to buy insurance as a large group and across state lines, dramatically increasing health insurance options. These plans also lower costs for those in an association because they can negotiate prices as a group in the same way large employers can. Further, these plans don’t allow people to be denied coverage or forced to pay higher prices because of a preexisting condition, protecting those with health problems from the possibility of losing coverage or having to pay significantly more than other members of an association."
This will bankrupt Bobocare by 2024. If the Dems have regained a smidgen of power in a plausible post-Trump downturn, they will drive the stake through their own hearts - again - by proposing single-payer at that time.
Those who said -- before 2010 -- that the GOP was finished, hopefully they live long enough to have their noses ground into the grindstone again.
Not only did Trump revive America, but he has smashed the electoral paradigm for generations, and the reverberations are waves that have yet to arise from the seabed of our democracy...
