The HealthCare Choice Act

Kevin Drumm in The Washington Monthly agrees with the new republic article which slams the Health Care Choice Act, which would allow purchasing out-of-state insurance, thus obliterating state regulation of insurance - which he argues is exactly the goal of this bill.

As Cohn points out, real choice would require a universal healthcare plan that genuinely allows everyone to choose the doctors and hospitals they like best. The problem, he concludes, is that "Those aren't the kind of choices that conservatives want to give Americans, since they happen to require expanding government. But they're the kind of choices Americans would appreciate most."
