Supposedly when Americans purchase the healthcare insurance there is a deductible in the thousands. The federal government is to grant every American enough cold, hard cash to pay their deductible in the way of a healthcare savings account.
I thought it was an interesting approach. So, with a healthcare savings account infused with federal tax dollars then purchase the cheapest policy possible with the highest deductible. This way Americans can pay out smaller amounts of money while the federal government is on the hook for the rest.
Now, if the Republicans are sincere about such a plan the ONLY way to know if it is a viable option for Americas is to offer it as an alternative in the Exchanges. That is the only real way to introduce new methods of paying for healthcare and healthcare insurance. Simply pulling the plug on American healthcare is reckless and dangerous.
If lawmakers want to change healthcare insurance than make these options as an alternative. It is the ONLY safe way to do it. Americans are used to examining options on the Exchanges so this would be another one.
