"SS... It increases the taxable maximum on income to 90 percent of all income," OK, that's pretty close to my 100% of all income. Can we agree on 95%? == Simpson-Bowles also has an admirable take on long-term health care spending, which is the key to the whole deficit-reduction puzzle. In attacking other pieces of the plan, liberals have overlooked the fact that Simpson-Bowles endorses the cost-control measures of the Democrats' signature legislative achievement, the Affordable Care Act. For example, it proposes to strengthen the Independent Payment Advisory Board by subjecting all health care providers to IPAB's recommendations. (The ACA gave hospitals a reprieve until 2018.) Simpson-Bowles should get credit for rejecting Republicans' claims that health care reform was a budget-buster, and for suggesting that, if we don't meet our cost-control targets, we should implement a public option to help us do that. huffingtonpost.com
