On Health Care...

Subject: txt 1st hcare - Sarah Palin on health care
Sarah Palin posted on Facebook her thoughts on health care. She called Obamacare good intentions.

We know what is paved by good intentions - and Americans better take charge of the scharade taking place in Washington or we'll be where it leads sooner than we think... [snip]

She pointed out how the bill will raise premiums, making health care less affordable. Here is another way. She also pointed out President Obama’s track record on legislation, as in the $787 billion stimulus.

I like her idea of actually working with the insurers on a solution instead of ordering them about.

Here’s a novel idea. Instead of working contrary to the free market, let’s embrace the free market. Instead of going to war with certain private sector companies, let’s embrace real private-sector competition and allow consumers to purchase plans across state lines. Instead of taxing the so-called “Cadillac” plans that people get through their employers, let’s give individuals who purchase their own health care the same tax benefits we currently give employer-provided health care recipients. Instead of crippling Medicare, let’s reform it by providing recipients with vouchers so that they can purchase their own coverage.

These ideas have real support from a full spectrum of industry and consumer experts:

Now is the time to make your voices heard before it’s too late. If we don’t fight for the market-oriented, patient-centered, and result-driven reform plan that we deserve, we’ll be left with the disastrous unintended consequences of the plans currently being cooked up in Washington.
