Those are some good ideas. Combined with some of the other plans being put together by Republicans now, they should be able to offer a good alternative.
But the time to offer these proposals to reform our health care system is not now, as some desperate ploy to counter the Democrats plan, but during the 12 years when Republicans controlled congress. Especially the 6 years when they had a Republican in the White House. We are in our current situation of having to fend off this effort by Democrats to jam their agenda through because Republicans failed to act when they had power. Utter political incompetence.
Oh by they way, as a retired naval officer you have lifetime government health benefits, right?
A well kept secret until now is a little known part of the democratic plan to overhaul healthcare insurance is to severely cut benefits presently obtained through CHAMPVA and TRICARE.
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.

Aye.
CW you're a scholar and a gentleman...well a scholar. All the necessary reforms on one handy page.
And 7 is easier to remember than the WH's 8 mandates (posted on their bus) for healthcare reform.
