Playing the Heavy

Ramirez. Dems vs. Dems. Impossible Promises. Obama's Health Care Plan Doesn't Add Up--and do we want a healthcare public "option" to end up like the public schools "option", where failure is the order of the day and we pay more for less? Arthur Laffer, WSJ, ObamaCare is worse than doing nothing, but there is an alternative:

A patient-centered health-care reform begins with individual ownership of insurance policies and leverages Health Savings Accounts, a low-premium, high-deductible alternative to traditional insurance that includes a tax-advantaged savings account. It allows people to purchase insurance policies across state lines and reduces the number of mandated benefits insurers are required to cover. It reallocates the majority of Medicaid spending into a simple voucher for low-income individuals to purchase their own insurance. And it reduces the cost of medical procedures by reforming tort liability laws.

A sleek and elegant alternative.
