The Alternative Healthcare Proposal

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air posted an article today on the alternative healthcare proposal the Republicans have put forth.  The Congressional Budget Office has scored that proposal and says that the plan:

"...which relies on interstate competition, HSAs, and tort reform, would only cost $61 billion in the first ten years of the plan -- or slightly less than 6% of what Democrats plan to spend to overhaul the entire system."

The bill would also reduce premiums 5 to 8 percent for individual healthcare plans, 7 to 10 percent in the small group market, and 0 to 3 percent in the large group market. 

This plan deserves a fair hearing as an alternative plan to a government takeover of health insurance.  Hopefully, Congress will pay attention.
