Martin Feldstein’s Health Plan
Marty Feldstein has a health care reform idea that is so simple, so elegant, and so easy to understand, one wonders what Max Baucus and his Senate Finance Committee colleagues could possibly have been thinking about for the past nine months. Clearly, they haven’t been talking to Professor Feldstein. The plan would:
- provide universal coverage – almost overnight,
- allow everyone access to insurance that is personal and portable,
- require no net increase in taxes,
- entail no reduction in benefits for the elderly,
- involve more progressive redistribution than anything being proposed in any of the five health reform bills before Congress, and
- create powerful incentives for 300 million Americans to control health care costs.
