A Healthcare Blueprint For A President Mitt Romney
"First, Romney and company must create a functional consumer market for health insurance by changing the way that it’s taxed.
Currently, individuals do not have the same ability to purchase insurance tax-free that businesses do. Not only is that unfair — it also drives up the cost of insurance and of care.
......
In addition to reforming the tax treatment of health insurance, Romney should call for expanding the availability of high-deductible plans paired with health savings accounts (HSAs). High-deductible plans are much more affordable than the mandate-heavy policies preferred by Obamacare — while still protecting folks against true medical catastrophes.
HSAs, meanwhile, allow people to save money tax-free to pay for routine medical expenses. Accountholders can keep unspent money in their accounts in perpetuity — so they have a strong incentive to spend judiciously."
