Even Without The Government To Punish Me...

If your employer doesn't offer health insurance, you still have to buy it, and other answers about biz mandate delay.

.@peterfrost @phil_rosenthal Haven't had an "employer" for 25-plus yrs & I've always had to buy health ins--bc it's what you do as a grownup
Which is why you should promote a plan that doesn't require an employer!

I like your idea a lot, Rad.

Thank you. Notably, my GP, cardiologist, radiologist and proctologist do, too.
Somehow, there is immense, unreasoning backlash against the idea that the entire purpose of any plan is to pay doctors. Somehow, money is to go somewhere else and produce magical cures. Somehow, being a doctor is not supposed to require years of education and training - and be "cheap".
I think my idea can permanently relieve you, the citizen, of the crushing debt of a catastrophe while still insulating you from the immediate financial crises of more minor acute illnesses.
Please pass it on!
