Robert Reich advances limited praise for Bush’s new health care maneuvers:
The President’s plan to de-couple health insurance from employment merits only one cheer, though, because it’s only the first step. Two cheers for the President or any politician who comes up with a way to get health insurance to lower-income people who can’t afford it on their own even with a tax deduction. It’s called universal health care. Every advanced nation has it except the United States.
Seems like replacing a mediocre system like employer-based care with a bad system like individual insurance merits not even a smile no less a cheer.
