Allow individuals to buy their insurance anywhere in the 50 states, allow them to customize their plan as much as possible so they get only what they need, and make it easy for them to price hunt for their insurance by taking the onerous task away from employers’ hands and empowering individuals to do their own health-insurance shopping. Any contemplated health-care reform that doesn’t include these provisions is a steaming pile of dung, and I stand by that assessment. These measures are so fool-proof, so Pareto optimizing (i.e. they would make no one worse off by their adoption, except for, perhaps, insurance lobbyists and tort lawyers) that their exclusion can be nothing short of willful, deliberate, and motivated by something other than health-care recipients’ interests in mind.

This is an issue where an independent doctor told me the right does need to steal the democrats play book and speak up for CHOICE. Allow people choice in their medical care. He said a lot that night I met him that really stuck with me, and our rights to choice our doctors really was the brass ring for me.
