The U.S. House of Representatives recently took up several health care bills, a couple of which could help lower costs and expand coverage. H.R. 3204 would extend federal funding for the establishment and operation of state high-risk health insurance policies for people with chronic medical conditions. H.R. 525 would allow small businesses to pool their purchasing power by forming association health plans. Admittedly, these are small, incremental reforms. But they are helpful and smart.

So much for the “republicans only care about flag-burning” arguments!
Association heath plans need to be carefully examined before embracing the idea too fully. The plan put forward by the Rep. majority cuts across all state regulations and nullifies hard fought for mandates for coverage.
Affordable health care? Isn’t that communism or anti-american?
