A counterpoint to the President’s health care reform email
Yesterday President Obama sent an email on health care reform to the White House mailing list. Respectfully, here is my counterpoint.
President Obama’s health care reform email
Here is the email that President Obama sent yesterday to the White House email mailing list. I have written a counterpoint.
Hennessey’s health care reform plan, v2
President Obama has sent a letter to his White House mailing list that warns against "an avalanche of misinformation and scare tactics from those seeking to perpetuate the status quo." I am not one of those people. I can't stand the health policy status quo, and I think there is a better way to reform our health care system than the plans now moving through Congress. To demonstrate that I do not favor the status quo, here is version 2 of my desired health care reform.
CBO calls a TKO on the House health bill
Because the proposed new health spending would grow faster than the proposed new income tax increases, the House health bill would increase the long-term deficit. Since the President has said he would not sign a bill that increases the long-term deficit, the bill is dead in its current form. Any tax increase that would grow more slowly than the proposed new spending faces the same irreconcilable problem. The only way to solve this problem and meet the President's long-term goal is to cut other health spending or tax employer-provided health insurance.
