“Federal subsidies for lower-income uninsured would flow to the states. The states, in turn, would negotiate with private insurers to provide coverage for the target population.”

Now that is a plan I can feel a little better about. I am still against the government funding for all the uninsured because that means my tax money is going to pay for your (non-working ass) insurance. Now it is one thing if you are working ad paying into the government subsidies yourself. If you are a tax payer then your money is going to provides insurance to someone, and if the government must insure people, those people should support the government with taxes.

This proposal by Sen. Maria Cantwell is modeled after the way her sate has dealt with the issue of uninsured. Now the fact that her state has dealt with the issue internally makes me wonder why every state can’t take care of the needs of its residents. This proposal is one step closer to what I think should be the resolution for this matter, make it a state matter because the state should know more about what its people need and want.

The Federal Governments one size fits all method is not the right answer for anything when it come to the people of America. They do not need to mandate thing like health insurance, education calendars, or regulate income to “Spread the wealth”. The Federal Government should deal strictly with interstate commerce and international issues. Local and State Governments can better deal with the needs of the people living and working in the different regions of America.
