How to make health care more available and affordable, according to Congress:

  1. Eliminate inexpensive bare-bones insurance plans.
  2. Make everyone buy every possible kind of coverage, whether they need them or not.  Make teetotallers buy substance-abuse coverage and single men buy pediatric and maternity coverage.
  3. De facto tax prescription drugs.
  4. De facto tax medical devices.
  5. De facto prohibit expanding hospitals or building new ones.

I wish I was making this up.

(Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] montieth for the pointer.)

Thanks for posting this. I wish there were a way to easily negate this mess. However, no matter what is about to happen, it looks like it's going to get messy.
