"time is not the enemy & neither are the Republicans"
Mitt Romney: Mr. President, what's the rush?
Excerpt:
Health care cannot be handled the same way as the stimulus and cap-and-trade bills. With those, the president stuck to the old style of lawmaking: He threw in every special favor imaginable, ground it up and crammed it through a partisan Democratic Congress. Health care is simply too important to the economy, to employment and to America's families to be larded up and rushed through on an artificial deadline.
Comment: What is needed in health care reform:
- Tort reform
- Transparency (that's how free markets work)
- Choices. (Eg. I do not need Psychiatry coverage! Why should have to pay for it!)
- Portability
- Incentives (to be healthy)
About 2012: Mitt is the Republican best posed to be the GOP candidate and win!
Speaking of incentives. My company offers three. One is a non-smoking incentive, which takes off I think 50$/year/employee or spouse. (so for us, we get 100$/year off insurance) Another one for the employee and spouse, we have to fill out a health questionare. And the third is a "workout" schedule. I think it is workout twice a week for 6 months for 20 min/day, for just the employee.
