President proposes health care evolution
Reading through the transcript of President Obama's speech, I have concluded that his path to reform is evolution, not revolution. On one hand, I think we need reform to go further. On the other, I recognize the path forward must be taken step-by-step.
I agree with setting up an insurance marketplace to bring insurance providers and customers together. I agree with establishing a non-profit insurance provider as an option. I foresee some controversy over mandating that everyone obtain basic coverage, but the flip side is that it means universal coverage.
I think the President presented a strong outline for reform, giving enough leeway to all sides to contribute and take credit for the bill's success. Still, it remains to be seen whether that opportunity is worth it to those who stand to gain politically if reform fails.
