Are Vouchers A Good Idea?

I think they are not……but who cares what I think?  Moving on!

Well we all know what has happened with the health care thing….the conservs feel betrayed by Roberts for his vote…..all in all I think the whole health care thing is a cop out.  But I have an idea that might have some substance……and could answer many questions we all have…….

Mitt goes along with Ryan that the best way to handle health care for the people is a health savings account and vouchers for those that may have a difficult time getting adequate health care…..I think it is not a workable idea but for the sake of argument I say let us try it on a part time basis……but then the question is….just how do we do that?

The first problem we have is that there is no example of how this will work…just the ramblings of think tanks and such….so how should we proceed?  Without a working model there is nothing but conjecture pertaining to the concept….then where should we begin?

Okay Congress has a pretty good health care policy and it is much coveted by them and it gets sterling reports….right?

Then this is where we begin…….the Congress must, it will not be a choice, implement and enroll in a voucher system for their personal use and that of their families….this will give them a working model to use in their deliberations on the use of the voucher system…….it is only fair….after all they have a system that most of us cannot get….why not let them lead the way if this is such a great idea?

If it works well then they can speak with authority on the subject instead of repeating the ramblings of someone else……and this will help repair their sagging approval ratings because they took the lead………I mean they would get a better deal than most of the Americans working part time….why not lead?  My guess is that it would not be met with enthusiasm…..vouchers are a good idea, just not for them……

If it fails to meet expectations then the opponents will have facts  to work from and not the ramblings of paid academics…….what is the problem?  We can kill many birds with that one stone.
