pile of garbage too. Not sure where you got your rant about how it is going to kill half of the country, increase deductibles, etc... because I don't see anywhere in the bill that you can come to that conclusion. I think ye may be listening to schumer a little too much, or even pelosi.
The only good thing i see in the bill is the increase, up to your deductible, the amount of money a family can put into a HSA or FSA account. I currently have a $14,000 family deductible, $7,000 individual deductible. Under current law, I can only put up to $6,250 into a HSA to help pay for that deductible on a pre-tax basis. In this day, I would venture that most families, even those who are healthy, will have to pay at least up to their deductible amount on an annual basis. This would allow all of them to pay less in taxes in order to help cover the cost of their medical expenses. If you don't see the positive in that, well, you are just wanting to complain about something.
I am trusting that Rand Paul will negotiate some real meaningful reform into the senate version before anything goes to a vote.
For the more knowledgeable law folks on the board, why does the Senate or House not even attempt to introduce legislation that allows private/public insurance companies to sell across state lines?
