Earlier this month, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed (http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/381338-iowa-law-seen-as-breakthrough-for-obamacare-foes) a law that takes advantage of a major loophole in Obamacare. The legislation, based on a similar effort in Tennessee, enables any Iowan to enroll in a "health benefit plan" sponsored by the Iowa Farm Bureau. Due to a legal technicality, the plans aren't subject to Obamacare's premium-inflating regulations.
The reform is a laudable attempt to give consumers an affordable alternative to the plans for sale on Obamacare's exchanges. Until Congress makes good on its promise to repeal and replace the law, other states can liberate their residents from the law's financial burdens by following Iowa's lead.
