Rep. Paul Ryan’s universal health coverage proposal, the anti-Obamacare

Read about it in Forbes:

Ryan proposed a variation of John Goodman and Mark Pauly’s proposal to provide universal coverage through a refundable tax credit: “Patient-centered reform means replacing the inefficient tax treatment of employer-provided health care with a portable, refundable tax credit that you can take with you from job to job, allowing you to hang onto your insurance even during those tough times when a job might be hard to find.”

Portable health insurance also solves the pre-existing condition problem that is an artifact of our employer-sponsored system. “Instead of top-down price controls imposed by 15 bureaucrats at IPAB, let’s try bottom-up competition driven by 300 million consumers.”
