    Kokesh vs. Lujan on Healthcare

    http://blog.electdave.org/2009/09/11...on-healthcare/

    ...

    I contacted Lujan’s GOP challenger, former marine and Iraq veteran Adam Kokesh, and asked what he would do. Adam’s website page on healthcare expresses his opinion that federal government intervention into healthcare is unconstitutional (because of the 10th Amendment), and he states that, “the federal government must simultaneously take away the advantages that corporations currently enjoy and level the playing field.” Via e-mail, Adam clarified with these remarks:
    The playing field is unfairly tilted towards corporations that can purchase health care without paying taxes on the money earned to pay for it when individuals do not have the same ability. This gives corporations proportionately much greater purchasing power and makes it unfairly difficult for individuals that do not have corporate jobs to find health insurance.
    I just happen to be a licensed insurance agent, and I can tell you that Adam’s remarks are correct. Businesses can deduct expenditures on group health plans as long as they offer the plan to all employees, and individual insurance is much more expensive than group insurance. Unlike Lujan’s misguided “evil insurance company” non-solutions, the response of challenger Adam Kokesh, while not a panacea, offers something actionable that will not hurt the people he intends to help. Let people deduct healthcare expenditures. Simple enough.


    I will be following the NM-3 race and look forward to writing more about it.

    "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
