President Trump’s “Great Health Care Plan” has great ideas that greater simplicity could make even better.
The best proposal: “Allow More Over-the-Counter Medicines.”
Government-imposed prescription requirements increase prices and block access to countless medicines.The best idea: Let consumers control health care dollars.
“Obamacash for enrollees” would expand Obamacare and create countless problems. “Universal health accounts” would free workers to control the $1 trillion that employers control—a larger effective tax cut than Reagan’s.The best addition: Secure Trump’s greatest first-term health care accomplishment by permanently removing barriers to Obamacare-exempt plans.
