This solution will bring the cost of private insurance WAAAY down since insurers will only be on the hook for 50k-100k as opposed to 1 million. Younger people could buy inexpensive, high deductible plans for very cheap. Much fewer would face bankruptcy from medical bills.

To me, this is THE solution. Its a compromise between the single payer people and free-marketeers, and it is cheaper to the FEDS. There is no reason the feds should be paying for a throat culture and penicilin.

We have discussed this option before, and this is the best compromise out there (even though it is not really out there...)
