Re: The Power of the SCOTUS II: "Release the Kagan!"
We all agree that we need to address this issue, which can be done more practically in an incremental fashion. PPACA doesn't have a mechanism to take care of them either; it merely says they have to pay a fine if they don't buy insurance themselves; except that the dollar figures are all way out of balance: the fine is lower than the premium. What is worse, there is no way to buy catastrophe-only coverage, even though that is what makes the most sense in this context. A policy with a $5,000 deductible and coinsurance above that to a higher limit would be very affordable compared to what is mandated in the current law.
It seems to me the single biggest problem is a grave error in thinking: trying to invent a comprehensive solution on the fly rather than allow for a variety of local solutions that fit the unique circumstances of such a widely-varying nation.
