Guess what happens when middle aged people are given a $400-per-month voucher to purchase health care in the Free Market. Guess! Just guess! Did you guess? Yay you are right probably, if you guessed that a voucher of $400 per month is insufficient to cover the costs of health care for a senior citizen who is too young to qualify for Medicare, too broke to afford a steep deductible, and makes too much money to qualify for
I'd be surprised, and somewhat disappointed, if State Sen. David Hann's personal information hasn't already been "shared" with every corporation in the world, just in case he's eligible for a great deal somewhere or other, so they can go and invite him or reach out to him and say, "here's some things you can look at."
Giving a for-profit health insurance company all of your medical information, before they decide if you'll get to even "look at" a policy.
Ask them how many jobs they created with their Dubya tax cut over the past 10 years. (Buying stuff doesn't count, because everyone buys stuff.)
If vouchers are so great, let's just have Medicare buy retiree's health insurance on the market directly. The massive savings they'll get (according to GO-Pee'ers) can go into the fund or a huge party And we can start getting those (presumed) savings immediately instead of waiting for 55 year-olds to enroll and opt for vouchers. It's a win-win-win-win. Market efficiencies, lower costs, immediate savings, less hassle for seniors.
Unless the purchased insurance costs Medicare more than self-insurance. Then we'll have to raise taxes on Repubicans to cover the gap.
You know, us Minnesotans voted out a lot of Republicans this last election which turned both houses from Republican to Democrat. Somehow we missed this human turd named Hann. I blame myself for only voting once.

What could possibly go wrong?
Providing adequate health care options only encourages people to get sick. Clearly, these people just aren't tough enough.
