[...] Regardless of what side of this debate you are on, now is the time to be heard! We have written numerous letters to congressional members with regard to our opposition to this legislation. Further, we have a post on our website outlining several common sense reforms that do not require such a broad government intervention into the health care industry (http://www.mccarthystevenot.com/2009/08/17/health-insurance-reform-without-socialized-medicine-co-op…).

There are some great thoughts here and you indicate that “Many of these reforms are recognized as beneficial by insurers currently”.

Is there any way to get many of them to sign a pledge or even just a “joint statement of recommendations” to be filed with congress indicating their support of these types of reforms?

Also, what about Tort reform? Do you see that as a critical component?

Tax deductions won’t help pay for coverage of those who have an even or negative tax liability already, right? Is that the intent, or would you want this to be a credit so it would pay such people?

Could it be a combination credit to a point and deduction after that point? (brainstorming here)

Also, how about people who wouldn’t be able to wait until they file their taxes after the end of the year to afford their coverage? Could, would, or should they get a tax prebate in such a plan? Then, if this is the case, how do we make sure the money get spent on healthcare?

Sorry more questions than answers.

Comment on How to Insure 28 Million Uninsureds for 1/3 the Cost of the Senate Bill by admin

A significant portion of the individuals listed as uninsured are “unassimilated immigrants.” Many of which, unfortunately, are illegal immigrants. If you limited this subsidy to legal citizens, it becomes even more potent. Listening to people talk today in the media, it seems like folks are more interested in insurance reform than over all health care reform. A few simple changes could go a long way to rectify many of the common complaints we are hearing about health care.
I don’t think the insurers would mind some “change” as long as they all have to play by the same rules. It’s hard to be the leader in underwriting concessions if none of your competitiors come along for the ride.
