I just read through the provisions on wikipedia

Unless that page is wrong, no, not one single good thing in it.
Quote:
Guaranteed issue and partial community rating will require insurers to offer the same premium to all applicants of the same age and geographical location without regard to most pre-existing conditions (excluding tobacco use).[15]
pre-existing conditions should absolutely be considered for insurance costs (unless the insurance co doesn't want to). this isn't insurance anymore.

A shared responsibility requirement, commonly called an individual mandate,[16] requires that nearly all persons not covered by Medicaid, Medicare, or other public insurance programs purchase an approved private insurance policy or pay a penalty, unless the applicable individual is a member of a recognized religious sect, exempted by the Internal Revenue Service, or waived in cases of financial hardship.[17]
i don't believe in forcing people to buy stuff
Quote:
Medicaid eligibility is expanded to include all individuals and families with incomes up to 133% of the poverty level along with a simplified CHIP enrollment process
i think wealth redistribution is theft
Quote:
Health insurance exchanges will commence operation in each state, offering a marketplace where individuals and small businesses can compare policies and premiums, and buy insurance (with a government subsidy if eligible).
tbh i don't understand this one but it has the word subsidy in it so it's bad.
Quote:
Minimum standards for health insurance policies are to be established and annual and lifetime coverage caps will be prohibited.
there should be no law for minimum standards. if a poor person can only afford a really bad insurance policy, give them that option plz.
etc
So the question "how would YOU fix it", well, first, we gotta define the problem. healthcare isn't one problem, it's actually THREE problems.
so first define the problem, then FIX the problem. how would i fix it?
