Better, more affordable health care requires free-market reforms: the freedom to purchase health plans across state lines; tax reforms like "large" health savings accounts; making health insurance portable, controlled by the individual rather than government or an employer; making medical licenses portable, and more. Please use this website to expand and enhance your understanding of health care reform.
I suggest that you read the details on the free market solutions, to do that click here.
But if you only have a moment here are the proposed options broken down to the key points:
-
individuals control their health care dollars
free choice on health plans and providers.
-
less employer-provided health insurance
-
personal and portable insurance controlled by individuals
-
change the tax treatment of health insurance for personal vs employer-provided insurance
receive a standard deduction, a tax credit, or large Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) for the purchase of health insurance, through job or individual purchase
-
increase competition among both insurers and health providers
purchase health insurance across state lines
-
rethink medical licensing laws to encourage greater competition among providers.
allow nurse practitioners, physician assistants, midwives, and other non-physician practitioners greater treatment ability
license portability for doctors and other health professionals
-
medicare enrollees provided with voucher to choose any health plan on the market
allow medicare recipients to keep the savings if they choose an economical plan
give medicare larger vouchers to poor and sick
expansion of “health status insurance”
states develop high risk pools to ensure coverage for those with high cost medical conditions
