John Boehner on making our health care system better.
Number one: let families and businesses buy health insurance across state lines;
Number two: allow individuals, small businesses, and trade associations to pool together and acquire health insurance at lower prices, the same way large corporations and labor unions do today;
Number three: give states the tools to create their own innovative reforms that lower health care costs; and
Number four: end junk lawsuits that contribute to higher health care costs by increasing the number of tests and procedures that physicians sometimes order not because they think it’s good medicine, but because they are afraid of being sued.
The problem is, if you’re healthy you would purchase an individual policy. That means the folks banding together to create groups probably have some type of medical condition that would be reflected in the group rates. Of course no one said it would be easy, for the Democrats it took 1990 pages. Good grief!
h/t to Big Government.
