What Would Republican Replacement Look Like?

Much of a talk from Republican lawmakers on illness caring remodel has focused on efforts to dissolution a 2010 illness caring remodel law. But this year, they are talking about what could replace it if they accomplished that goal. Last week Rep. Joe Pitts, a chairman of a illness subcommittee of a Energy as well as Commerce Committee, described a package of policy initiatives that he hoped his committee would plunge into later this year.

The planks of a package included medical liability reform, rules to have illness insurance purchases possible across state lines, as well as efforts to ensure that employees could take their insurance with them if they left a job.

Would such policies be a good replacement for a stream illness caring remodel package? Would they expand access to illness insurance? Would they move down costs?
