Obama promised that high-quality health insurance would cost less than our cell phones. Now he wants us to cut our phone bills so we can afford healthcare! (http://bit.ly/1p5zTBk)
I’d rather cut my “government” bill. Give me FREEDOM!
1. Allow insurance companies to sell plans across state lines. This would lower premiums by reducing state-imposed coverage mandates.
2. Put individual policies on the same tax-footing as employer-provided policies. This would reduce the pre-existing conditions problem.
3. Make FDA drug approval optional. Let doctors and patients choose the protections they want. This will increase innovation and lower costs.
4. Abolish licensing requirements. Let consumers choose practitioners based on educational requirements, experience, and patient reviews. This will expand the supply of medical professionals and create more personalized attention.
These steps will increase supply and lower prices.
