Biden, Bloomberg, and Buttigieg Have the Health Plans That Can Become Law and Will Work
In an earlier post, I pointed out that there is no better chance of passing a Medicare for all health care plan through Congress in the coming years than there was in 1977, or 1993, or 2009. Then Elizabeth Warren showed us just how politically unrealistic single-payer health care is when she released her funding plan and then quickly backtracked to the public option approach in the face of (Source: Health Care Policy and Marketplace Review)

Health Care Special Interests Four Hundred Billion - Consumers Zero
That ' s the Congressional health care score card for December. As the year winds down and must pass year-end spending bills are completed ––and with that any chance of attaching and approving health care legislation––the special interests have won big and consumers have lost big. Employers, unions, and insurance companies won big with the repeal of the " Cadillac " tax on high cost benefit plans at (Source: Health Care Policy and Marketplace Review)

Buttigieg and Biden Spend What They Would Gain Repealing the Republican Tax Cuts on Health Care
Shouldn ' t any gain from repealing the Republican tax cuts on the wealthiest go toward fixing the debt and deficit problems these tax cuts have contributed to? Democratic presidential candidates Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg both rely on repealing some of the Trump tax cuts ––particularly those for the " rich " ––to pay for their very similar and incremental health care plans that rely upon making a (Source: Health Care Policy and Marketplace Review)

Greed Outranks Compromise in Congressional Attempts to Fix Surprise Medical Bills
There are few things in our health care system that are more unfair than surprise medical bills. Consumers think they have good coverage and are getting treatment in their health plan network only to get a huge unexpected bill in the mail because it turned out that something like the anesthesiologist at their recent surgery wasn ' t covered. How were they to know that? As you ' re sitting on the (Source: Health Care Policy and Marketplace Review)

The Trump/Republican 2020 Health Care Plan
The Republicans don ' t yet have a health care plan less than a year before the 2020 elections. But based upon their 2017 Obamacare repeal and replace efforts, as well as a major document recently issued by the House Republican Study Committee, what might a Republican plan look like? First, let ' s review the plan House Republicans passed in 2017 during their failed repeal and replace efforts. (Source: Health Care Policy and Marketplace Review)

Elizabeth Warren Backs Into the Public Option and Effectively Takes Medicare for All Off the Table for Democrats in 2021
Medicare for all is dead because Democratic voters aren ' t buying it. Fixing Obamacare and adding a public option is the health care policy territory first staked out by Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden. Writing about Biden ' s plan recently on this blog, I said: IF the Democrats capture the White House, keep the House, and take over the Senate, no matter who they elect as President (Source: Health Care Policy and Marketplace Review)

Medicare for All ––the Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren Health Care Plans
The Question That Single-Payer Medicare for All Advocates Need to Answer You are probably thinking that question is, How are you going to pay for it? Ultimately, yes. But, I will suggest there is another critically important issue that is part of the overall question about how it will be paid for ––What will your plan do to our existing health care system? Medicare and Medicaid cost less than (Source: Health Care Policy and Marketplace Review)

The Public Option's Silver Lining?
Joe Biden ' s Health Insurance Plan Would Fix the Individual Health Insurance System and Have the Potential to Politically Stabilize the Entire Private Health Insurance Market for Decades to Come Biden ' s Public Option In a prior post, I argued that the Biden health plan directly takes on the most problematic parts of Obamacare by making individual market coverage affordable ––and would therefore (Source: Health Care Policy and Marketplace Review)

Joe Biden's Health Insurance Plan Would Fix the Individual Health Insurance System
IF the Democrats capture the White House, keep the House and take over the Senate, no matter who they elect as President, this Biden health care outline, not Medicare for all, will likely be the plan Democrats embrace in 2021 The Biden health care proposal directly takes on the big things that haven ' t worked in Obamacare. Here are the things that are most broken in Obamacare: The individual (Source: Health Care Policy and Marketplace Review)
