Absolutely. It was proposed by Nixon decades ago, proposed by the Cato institute, and implemented by Gov. Romney in MA. It’s essentially a GOP plan. This is the biggest case of sour grapes I’ve ever seen.
Who says you have to change insurance if you like what you have? You don’t. This is a life changer and life saver for those who don’t have or can’t get insurance. Like what you have? KEEP IT. I will!!! I have great insurance through my employer, and I’m not giving it up.
@Ted, thanks. I just wanted to know if you had any ideas about this. Doubtful he’d do it, given the grilling he’d get over it, though I can always dream….
@Ted Rall: HOW is Obama supposed to “fix this”? He couldn’t do it without GOP support in the legislature, and they wouldn’t help him put out a fire, even if they were the ones burning!
John, this is a frequent topic of conversation at my house.
