I would make all healthcare expenditures tax deductible for taxpayers but I would at the same time make it taxable for unions and employers. This would force employers and unions out of the health care business as a result if you lost your job or switched jobs you would not lose your insurance. NO more expensive Cobra Insurance.
I will force states out of the healthcare regulation business, they would not be able to mandate what is covered or what is not covered, that is an individuals choice.
High Risk individuals would be pooled each insurance company would be forced to accept a percentage of high risk individuals at say double and triple the normal rate. If the high risk individual can’t afford the double or triple insurance rate and they would qualify for government assistance.
Insurance rate formulation law – Age, Sex, Options you choice, and current health when you apply for the insurance. Insurance companies can increase your rate from year to year but they can’t reassess you health. If you switch health insurance companies then you will need to get reassessed. If your insurer goes out of business and is not purchased by another company then you can switch insurance companies without being reassessed.
The uninsured citizens – After given the options above if they continue to want to self insure let them. Then when they use healthcare and if they can’t afford to pay then you would assign them to an insurance plan the one they would have had say 10 years earlier when they first self insured and back charge them for that amount give them a monthly pay plan and cover them from then out. In other words there will be a penalty if you self insure but don’t have the money to pay your own healthcare bills.
Illegal immigration healthcare – Keep the system we current have in place until the wall is built. Pass a bill to build the wall and decide what we are going to do with those here now, send them back or give them a path to citizenship. I say send them to build the wall at minimum wage plus housing once the wall is built then give them a green card. Once they get a job, and learn english (reading and writing) and can answer a test on the constitution and bill or rights then they can become a citizen. Then treat them the same as everyone else.
Tort Reform – Loser pays. And limits on liability. Plus if a doctor loses too many law suits then his medical license would be removed.
Purchase of insurance across state lines will be legal.

Imagine the Obama administration called for every state to submit their own healthcare reform bill, would you support this?
As a follow-up question, would you be concerned about the inconsistencies in coverage, payment, etc… between the states?
