For example, by utilizing HSA in conjunction with say a family $3,000 catastrophic deductible would easily cover almost everyone. Then perhaps for those under a certain income level the gov could subsidize the HSA - with the stipulation that the recipient pays some as well.

These should address the major concerns that people have with health insurance - like losing coverage, what to do with pre-existing conditions, etc. The Dems will not want to go along - they will say we need a COMPREHENSIVE overhaul (read: I want to stick all sorts of stuff in there), and would thus hold simple enhancements hostage. It should be clear to the American people which they want.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710959760445236480.post-29113471313257074182012-04-03T08:51:49.763-04:002012-04-03T08:51:49.763-04:00I don't think Carvelle was spinning, I think h...I don't think Carvelle was spinning, I think he considers the Healthcare law as is bad for Democrats and he's glad to get rid of it. Read his comments again. I think he'd be even happier if it wasn't killed the year of the election but better late than never.<br /><br />If the bill is killed Obama will look foolish for pinning everything on it instead of economic recovery, that should be fairly easy to campaign against. The question is, will Republicans fashion decent ads because all of the "I'm here to repeal healthcare" ads they've thought up are gone. All they've got is "he's incompetent and gambling with our lives" which is strong but could very easily be seen as negative which many pundits say turn off the voters (although I'm not so sure about that).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710959760445236480.post-34307861464736319472012-04-03T07:50:31.475-04:002012-04-03T07:50:31.475-04:00The Congressional Website lists 974 pages of Healt...The Congressional Website lists 974 pages of Healthcare reform, Justice Scalia asks if he has to read all 2,700 pages of this bill. Where is the 1,726 pages of ObamaCare that Scalia has to read, that is not on the Website? Somebody in the press has to square these numbers.

The planets were in perfect alignment for them to shove this down our throats, if the SCOTUS will not strike it down I don't know when we will ever get another chance to kill it.
