tax credit to low income so they can buy private insurance with money we give the government.

You really think:

1) It will be enough to buy meaningful insurance?

2) It will insure any one with a preexisting condition when there is no cap on premiums?

And what about the rest of us, and employers, when insurance is required but there is no cap?

Who can afford a $100k a month premium if say, they have a donated kidney or cancer? Maybe a $200k premium a month?

We have the best legislators that the health insurance industry can buy.

Which as far as I'm concerned is still an improvement over "paying much higher rates to hospitals because so they can absorb the cost of treating routine medical issues in the ER."
