I would rather see the power of healthcare returned to the people and not government regulated through tax schemes.
Provide all Americans with a tax credit for 100% of health care expenses. The tax credit is fully refundable against both income and payroll taxes.
Allow individuals to roll over unused amounts in cafeteria plans and Flexible Savings Accounts (FSA).
Make every American eligible for a Health Savings Account (HSA), remove the requirement that individuals must obtain a high-deductible insurance policy to open an HSA; allow individuals to use their HSA to make premiums payments for high-deductible policy; and allow senior citizens to use their HSA to purchase Medigap policies.
Repeal the 7.5% threshold for the deduction of medical expenses, thus making all medical expenses tax deductible.
The above is Ron Paul's healthcare plan he proposed. I think it's a better solution to making things more affordable rather than making things over crowded and more expensive to the tax payers. It makes health care companies focus on doing business with individuals, not via companies. That's the main problem... It's too expensive to get healthcare out side of your employer because of the way the taxes work...
And also, IMO, nobody should be forced to pay for someone else; it's unconstitutional. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs including whether or not individuals who make more money should spent that money on other people who don't make as much. However that doesn't mean that people should be forced to do things either way. If you agree with the healthcare plan then I ask you: How much money do you currently donate to free medical facilities every month? If you aren't donating any then you're a hypocrite.
