Personally, I do not want any central plan. I want the government out of it. The only thing I like about Republican plans in the past, was they pushed people more towards the free market. HSAs are a way to get the consumers in on their purchases. Also, during the election McCain got clobbered for wanting to tax company health plans. Although people act like this was horrible, it would do what I said needs to happen. It would make it more beneficial for business to not be in the health care business. That would drive cost down as well, because people would make better purchasing decisions based on individual needs instead of one size fits all for a company. Personally, I wish someone had the cahones to say Government should not be in the business of regulating health care. It only causes harm, and the people should decide. The problem is he'd quickly get guillotined in the public square. John, I agree. Personally, I do not want any central plan. I want the government out of it.

I like the overall idea, and it's obviously superior to the ObamaCare/PelosiCare plan, but based on the CBO estimates (I know, take them w/ a grain of salt), it just doesn't have the wow factor that most of the country needs to see to get on board with this.
