Romney on Healthcare in America
This is my 3rd post on Candidates and healthcare. Mitt Romney has some interesting ideas, the only question is whether he will implement them. It appears he understands the problem and does provide some solutions. First and foremost is tort reform, that is capping the payments to those with unfortunate outcomes. However, no candidates to date have mentioned the problem of prescription drug costs. US Citizens pay more for drugs than any other nation in the world. Recent studies show that the drug companies spend twice as much advertising to us as they do on research. By outlawing direct to consumer advertising, we would save billions.
Fix The Tax Code. Level the playing field by making all health care expenses tax deductible, eliminating the special treatment afforded employer-provided health plans.
