Why Not Give Tax Breaks for Private Health Insurance?



Nothing the government does is truly cheap, except quality, when you total up the direct and indirect costs. ObamaCare health insurance never will accomplish what it intends to do.

One suggestion: Tax employer-provided health-care benefits but return this money to employees in the form of tax deductions, to buy their medical insurance as they buy home and auto insurance.

That will make insurance transferable and keep workers on their jobs with coverage. You will then have health-insurance security and portability, along with personal independence.

And even more competition among about 1,500 insurance carriers. With lower health insurance costs. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
