CEO of Whole Foods offers consrtuctive plan...
 

for health care reform; gets hit with boycott from the left. He authored a
well-written piece in the Wall Street Journal
(http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...072865070.html)

Apparently because he didn't spout the Dems party line, a number of loony
liberals want to boycott Whole Foods. See:
http://abcnews.go.com/Business/Story?id=8322658&page=1

None of his detractors offered facts to refute the article.

Mantra of the loony left: "Don't confuse me with facts. My mind is made up."

You're right. All of the detractors had the same theme, "He's not
doing what the liberal organic food eaters want him to do. Therefore
he's bad." Their arguments have not one thing to do with his
recommendation, which make a hell of a lot of sense.

In many circumstances, "free enterprise" means nothing more than the
consumer bends over while the corporate interests diddle him in the butt.

That's certainly true in the almost totally non-competitive health
insurance business.

In fact, the most competitive market for health insurance is the FEHBA
program operated by the federal government on behalf of its employees.
Under FEHBA, hundreds of local and national health insurance providers
compete to offer health insurance. Their services are posted, their
prices are posted, there are no "outs" for pre-existing conditions, no
dropping of enrollees for arbitrary reasons, there is federal oversight
of all the providers, and it is an extremely profitable business for the
providers, too.

Why bother to read something which makes sense and try to rebut the
points. You've firmly established yourself as another Donnie. I'd say
Harry, but Harry's got a little more sense than Donnie.

Go for it.

In other words,

" Repeal all state laws which prevent insurance companies from
competing across state lines. We should all have the legal right to
purchase health insurance from any insurance company in any state and
we should be able use that insurance wherever we live. Health
insurance should be portable."

The Fed employees are not bound by state lines when choosing their
health insurance provider. The same Blue Cross is open to any Fed
employee regardless of which state they are in.

Good idea, Harry. I'll have to give you a mark on the wall for that
one. That was the Whole Food CEO's second suggestion.

Of course they didn't. That is their MO. Of all of his points, tort
reform would likely offer the largest benefit. The petty lawsuits are
costing us all a hell of a lot of money.

"a little more sense"? You are giving WAFA a lot more credit than he
deserves.
