For years, I’ve blogged how the third-party payment structure for routine health care is the source of problems with America’s health care system. Addressing this problem would be true reform. There are real-world examples of this in action, and the results are promising. True reform would address the regulations and tax-code distortions that favor third-party payments.
Obamacare reinforced the third-party payment structure. It continues to fail.
So what are Republicans proposing? It ain’t good:
It would repeal far less of ObamaCare than the bill Republicans sent to President Obama one year ago. The ObamaCare regulations it retains are already causing insurance markets to collapse. It would allow that collapse to continue, and even accelerate the collapse.
Michael Cannon has the gory details.
Not surprisingly, this bad legislation garners President Trump’s endorsement.
