Addressing health care: How Republican candidates should respond

The Dem candidates are talking about it during their debates, and most of their talk has been about some form of "universal" health care.

The Republicans should be talking about it too.

Here are ideas about what they should be saying.

Excerpt:


"Most universal-coverage plans accept the least rational features of our health-care system — its reliance on employer-based coverage and on “insurance” that covers routine expenses — and merely try to expand that system to cover more people." Republicans should go in a different direction, proposing market reforms that make insurance more affordable and portable. If such reforms are implemented, more people will have insurance.
