Brits resort to pulling own teeth

So the level of healthcare would vary depending on the economic status and political leanings of the states ? Under Pauls assumed stance on the issue, which is no stance from a national level.
What about the District of Coloumbia ?

That would be handled by Congress, as it is currently, or by the District Government.

But what is the point of asking when he will not be elected?

Anyway, for a time it may be, but as it became clear which programs had the desired results the adoption of those programs elsewhere would be the plan. At least under my idea. Taking the best, getting rid of the worst, getting unique ideas... I like that.
 
All of the Republicans take the same approach to healthcare. Americans are over-insured and over-consume healthcare. Their response is for less insurance, less healthcare consumption and more "health savings accounts" (conveniently set up at any of the big finance shops).

It's basically status quo stuff with a shout out to HSAs.

In fact, on every single issue the Republicans are remarkably status quo, preferring to simply oppose anything mentioned by the Democrats rather than presenting any of their own positive agendas.

The point is that RP is not the only Republican to share his views on let the states take care of the health care problem.

No, Dungheap is right on this issue, pretty much all the others promote a HSA rather than a federalized program. Some add tax credits for medical expenses...

There is no real surprise on this issue in any of their platforms. RP's is the only different one of the group on some of the issues.

Wouldn't leaving healthcare to individual states result in a 'zipcode lottery'?

Depending. If the goal is to leave it that way then it may, however under my suggestion it would only be temporary, to find what are the best solutions and then solidify coverage everywhere. It may be that different types of states have success with different types of coverage. Higher populations, for example, may need a different type of coverage than smaller populations. States may want to band together into regional groups, especially smaller states landwise...

So forth. The one-size fits all mentality would and could create problems. It is much like saying the rest of the EU must take on the EU government's plan or else.

Better take away that incentive to do well, insure that you will only get the ones who were too stupid to drop out and spend their education money where they can make money, that will make it all better.

There are some areas where free markets cannot deal. Essential services that everybody needs.

Here is a point in case. Free markets create dentistry that many of the poor cannot access, for financial reasons. They don't distribute properly. Adam Smith's mythical 'invisible hand' doesn't work.

British dentistry is not a free market by any stretch.
