Well, now this actually looks interesting. Wondering where they were a few years ago.

The summary sure sounded pretty good. Much more reasonable with tax breaks for workers instead of increases. But I'll reserve judgment until I can read it. Here's a link to the summary:

I'm especially excited about this:

Title IV – Encouraging a More Competitive Health Care Market

Our bill would take steps toward creating a competitive health care marketplace. This legislation would take steps to address this problem by, most notably, allowing Americans to purchase health insurance products across state lines and by permitting small businesses to pool together to negotiate better rates.

Other pro-patient reforms include amending the McCarran-Ferguson Act to ensure that federal anti-trust law applies to health insurance, making Medicare claims and payment data publicly available so that patients and taxpayers alike can better understand what they are being charged, helping states develop transparency portals with useful information on insurance plans, and stopping the federal government from denying coverage for health care services based upon comparative effectiveness data.

Competition will singlehandedly be responsible for driving huge price decreases in healthcare.
