Giuliani makes healthcare a focal point
I've been reading through Giuliani's healthcare plan. I'm impressed.
Here are some of the parts I like:
Expand Choice Through Tax Code Reform: America’s tax system penalizes millions of citizens without access to employer health care, including 40 percent of employees at small firms. Americans without employer-based insurance should have tax benefits just as the 175 million Americans with employment-based coverage do. Rudy proposes an income exclusion of up to $15,000 for those without employer coverage to make insurance more affordable.He may have the best healthcare plan that has been presented.
[...]
Require Availability of Low-Cost Insurance Options: Regulation must not deny access to affordable coverage, and currently over 1,900 state mandates limit coverage options and increase costs from 20 to 45 percent. If a state’s mandates prevent affordable health care coverage, citizens should be allowed to purchase coverage through interstate markets.
[...]
Improve and Expand Health Savings Accounts: Health savings accounts provide incentives for consumers to maximize the value of services tailored to their needs. Rudy will expand access to these accounts by simplifying the rules and regulations so that insurance coverage will meet the health care goals of individuals and families.
Comments
I think this'll probably get Rudy the nomination.
There are certainly enough of us fed up with the current system.
I wonder how many others are going to try to "borrow" this plan.
