This was a good idea, but blown way out of proportion by the Dems and the Repubs.

We need catastrophic health care for just about everybody. Pick a dollar amount (say $10k or $20k) and start coverage from there. forget the $500 band-aids from the Emergency Room. We just can't afford it and nobody wants the tax increase.

So again, due to idiotic politics on both sides, we end up with a still broken health care system. Contrary to some of the opinions on this forum, you cannot continue to have double digit increases year after year in premiums and expect employers, or anybody for that fact, to be able to afford it. At least with major catastrophic insurance, many won't lose their houses due to some health ailment.
