Market-based healthcare solutions can work: Russ Latino
If Obamacare makes anything clear, it’s that Washington can’t cure what ails our healthcare system. The President’s landmark law is near collapse. Insurers are abandoning ship. Looming premium increases of as much as 43 percent next year are on the horizon.
This is not simply a political issue. It is a human issue. Nowhere is that more clear than Mississippi — a state with the least access to primary care and the worst healthcare outcomes.
State lawmakers can learn from D.C.’s failure. Instead of trying to stand between patient and physician, the Legislature can increase access to quality care and lower costs, simply by abstaining from onerous new regulations and removing existing hurdles to competition.
