Re: SCOTUS LIVEBLOG - Obamacare Mandate Survives-Part 2
Even the longest journey starts with a single step. There is NO need to jump in the pond over your head just to see if the water is cold or not. Allowing medical insurance to be sold accross state lines would be STEP ONE. Lifting bans, instead of ADDING BANS on "catstrophic" medical care insurance would be STEP TWO. Expanding medicaid, with reasonable, income based fees would be STEP THEEE (the public option). Restrictions on (NOT BANS) rescission and pre-existing condition practices should be addressed as STEP FOUR. Tort reform restrictions should be STEP FIVE. Easily determined cost of care for a variety of conditions, advertised freely, would be STEP SIX.
Any large piece of legislation will have unintended consequences. Most smaller pieces of legislation will even.
