The Obama administration contends that only government can offer insurance for the non-insurable.
Private insurance for all is possible, if the pool is large enough. To do so, states and the federal government must break down the barriers they place on insurance companies.
Permit the sale of health insurance across state lines. To this very day, despite thousands of pages of federal legislation, it isn’t possible. Make private health insurance groups large enough to spread risk.
And immediately legislate tort reform, including mandatory arbitration by special courts to process patient claims. This would eliminate huge legal fees, over and above a reduction in needless tests and doctor malpractice premium charges.
