Well, let's break this out, because you have separate problems: (1.) The top problem is rising costs of health care. In other words the size of the bills and frequency that providers and facilities charge is rising much faster than inflation or your wages. (2.) Access to health care financing plans is shrinking. (3.) Portability of financing plans doesn't exist. Near as I can tell Obama's proposal would: a.) Not do much for costs that I can see b.) Provide "universal health care" by creating a government insurance company called "the public option" c.) Not address portability unless you qualified for the "public option" Your suggestions seem to make a tiny dent in access to financing, but would nothing to stop the cost trends and since that's what's limiting access to financing in the first place, how is that a solution? Personally I think "the public option" is moronic since you don't reward failed regulators with a whole company (that they failed to regulate in the first place), but I guess it makes sense to some people somehow. Since I'm assuming you'd be against that, what is it you're for? Cause as I've pointed out your suggestions so far wouldn't do shit to solve anything. So what's your substantive plan to fix rising costs - the core problem? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
