There are two alternatives; go back to the status quo where the cost of healthcare was increasing at a rate of more than 10% per year, or go to single payer. Something tells me cons don't want single payer.
Honestly, I wish we could remove employers from the equation and tell everyone they had to pay for their insurance on their own. I am self-employed, so I understand the true costs. I would love to see what would happen if all of a sudden, every family had to cough up $700 to $1500 per month just to keep their health insurance. Can you imagine the outrage. People would be taking to the streets with one protest after another. Any idea how far away from single payer we would be?
Bullshit, two alternatives my ass. Someone is living in do or die land.
welcome to the real world
Okay, toss out a plan, any plan? You can keep it as simple as possible. Go ahead, I'm waiting.
Ummm,as stated before, allow people to purchase insurance across state lines. Those not able to afford it could have access to it anyways through medicaid.
