Seems to me that creating a free market healthcare law is not as difficult as it's made out to be. Government's role is to create conditions for this to occur.
First, a law that allows people to be responsible for providing their own health insurance.
Second, pass a law that allows and requires insurance companies to sell health insurance across state lines. The object here is to increase competition thereby lowering the cost of insurance to the consumer.
Third, laws to provide for people who still cannot afford the insurance.
Fourth, allow for health savings accounts for everyone.
Fifth, tort reform to deal with high prices of legal protection for doctors and hospitals. Included in here should be stipulations for lodging frivolous suits. For example, heavy fines to lawyers who bring frivolous suits.
What have I missed? Have I oversimplified?
