Here's a little thing I found in a health care reform proposal called the "Patients Choice Act of 2009":

Affordable premiums. Under the status quo, plans offering coverage to individuals often charge exorbitant premiums. The Patients’ Choice Act solves this very real problem through a model that works in several European countries: independent risk-adjustment among insurance companies. A non-profit, independent board would penalize insurance companies that cherry pick healthy patients while rewarding companies that seek patients with pre-existing conditions. This solution would ensure health insurers compete based on superior products and the lowest price.

Sounds good, right.

Let me highlight a couple of things:

That should make it pretty obvious how this one would be attacked by health care reform opponents. Assholes. This is another reason we can't have nice things.

Oh, one more thing: this is a Republican proposal. Yes, that's right; it's a plan based on a European system, with government making health care decisions, and it was written by Republicans who presumably now know to hate all of those things.

Run it back, bitches.
