Abstract:
The Heritage proposal addresses the central deficiencies of the current system. By changing the tax treatment of health care spending, it would introduce powerful incentives to control costs and make it possible for those currently without adequate insurance to afford protection. It would create a consumer-driven-and-market-based national health system for America, without the heavy regulation or explosive costs of the other major proposals now being examined by Congress.
