Hugh Hewitt’s blog
contains the Weekly
Column from Clark Judge. It covers Republican
plans for reforming healthcare. There
are just four components:
--Mobility
--Equality
--Tort Reform
--HSA
How simple is that? We
have four straightforward ideas that are easy to communicate and relatively easy
to implement.
Mobility
means allowing insurance policies to be sold across state lines. A policy approved in Maryland could be sold
to people in Colorado. Competition comes
to healthcare!
Equality
means evening out the tax treatment between employer-sponsored and individual
policies. Leveling the playing field!
Tort Reform
means changing the legal system to reduce incentives for high-dollar medical
liability suits. Medical malpractice
premiums go down!
HSA means
continuing the ability for Americans to directly fund their own health expenses. Healthcare becomes an IRA!
Yes, Republicans have four simple reforms contained in four simple
ideas.
I don’t mean to sound like a rabble rouser, but Republicans
should commit these four reforms to memory and spread the word!
UPDATE 11/19/2013:
After further thought, I think the slogan should be "Legality! Equality! Mobility! (and HSAs)." That has an 8 beat cadence to it (if you pause after the "Mobility!") and puts things in their proper order. Making healthcare legislation conform to the Rule of Law must be the first priority (to include tort reform), and then should come the leveling of the playing field between individual and employer policies.
