>> By leaving in the "up to age 26" and pre-existing, he strips the liberals of their arguments and talking points. Another brilliant move. What he's done is to agree to keep the provisions that work and do no real harm. The increase in premiums required to support guaranteed issue are small in larger risk pools with with interstate competition. And the cost of keeping kids on a policy until age is almost nil. But to those who need them they are good features. (I would expect the elimination of lifetime maximums to continue as well, although I haven't heard that). The big, big problem is what to do about 20 million new Medicaids. I have long believed the best option for them would be government-funded/operated clinics, perhaps a few hundred nationwide, which see only Medicaid patients. They would dispense their own medications, generics ONLY, and require small copayments and arrange for those who can't afford them to be billed for it. Insurance not accepted. You could take care of a large number of patients for not a lot of money, providing basic services. Part of this could be covered with the money being wasted on Planned Parenthood and other stupid programs.
