Enzi is on the left with Dodd1) Eliminates unfair tax treatment of health insurance...
"I don't know insurance got unfair treatment."
2) Increases affordable options... through a standard tax deduction.
"?"
3) Ensures affordable health insurance... to low-income individuals through... tax-based subsidy.
"Redistribution of wealth."
4) Provides cross-state pooling...
"Might be a good idea."
5) Blends the individual and group market to expand... portability...
"Could be good."
6) Emphasizes preventive benefits and helps individuals with chronic diseases...
"How will that help them?"
7) Gives you the choice to convert the value of... Medicaid and SCHIP program benefits into Private health insurance...
"More government hand outs?"
8) Saves lives and money by better coordinating health information technology.
"Wow, saves lives! that's powerful government!"
9) Increases access to primary care in rural and frontier areas by helping future providers and nurses pay for their education, and gives seniors more options to receive care in their homes and communities.
"Again spread the government money to who the government deems worthy."
10) Decreases the sky-rocketing cost of health care by restoring reliability in our medical justice system through state-based solutions.
"The most sense he said in all of this"
the "..." in the statements eliminate, in my humble opinion, the editorializing that is in the statements.
