Romney's Health Care plan is here. The Slides of Romney's Power Point presentation he delivered to the Florida Medical Association are located
here.
The Goals of the Reform:
- First, Instituting Reforms That Make Private Health Insurance Affordable. More Americans need access to quality, private health insurance.
- Second, Providing Access To Quality Health Insurance For Every American.
- Third, Enhancing The Portability Of Private Health Insurance.
- Finally, Slowing The Rate Of Inflation In Health Care Spending.Romney's website lists six steps to bring about change
here.
As a person who actually buys private health insurance in the open market as opposed to simply being covered by an employer's plan, I am excited about the thrust of Romney's Health Care plan to foster a more robust market that makes plans more portable and encourages options.
I am also excited about the prospect of being able to buy that coverage with pre-tax dollars as workers who buy through their employers can do.
In fact, by giving that benefit to employees in traditional jobs and denying it to people who don't have an employer giving them health insurance, the tax code has actually created a disincentive from people hanging out their own shingle and working for themselves. Romney's reform will fix that.
There is a lot more to be said but one thing is clear, Romney owns this issue.
