Marshall: State Competition For Healthcare Not Part of Original Overhaul Plan

(westernkansasnews.com) The U.S. House will vote on the first overhaul bill to Obamacare today. Either way the bill is facing a razor thin margin for passage or defeat. Critics contend the best way to control costs in healthcare is allow consumers to buy plans from other states increasing competition. Congressman Roger Marshall explains why this idea is not part of the first proposal.

 

Marshall goes on to say that complete overhaul will have to be done in stages and part of their longterm goals will be to open up competition across state lines.
