Arnold Kling from the Cato Institute gives us the lowdown on the new plan.
Since the President’s plan was leaked, I have seen three complaints from the left.
- The tax break benefits the rich more than the poor.
- The tax break encourages people to leave employer-provided health plans and instead get health insurance on their own.
- The proposals encourage catastrophic health insurance rather than insulation.
If this is what the plan aims for then I’m all for it. I’ve long believed that insulating people from having to pay directly for their insurance does nothing but drive up costs and eliminate market forces from having any impact on the system. And that’s what employer provided health care does.
