We might actually get some resolution one way or another. Whether you like it or not they made health care an issue it would not have been had it been a Republican in the white house, or if the congress was more evenly divided. This is an interesting concept that all parties should look at. This could reduce profiteering in the health sector. Where too much of the money going in is pure profit. This could help to reduce costs, and it could even spur on greater competition. I would say if this was offered through my employer I would have to seriously consider it. |
If this plan passes congress, and it makes sense, and then Obama does not veto it (and this is very much not what Obama wants), then I will praise him for the work he has done.
As for the line I bolded, that’s the beauty of a system like this. You no longer need to get healthcare through your company. Today you do, because they get much better rates then you do alone. This would eliminate that. Everyone gets the “corporate” rate.
