Actually, it's nothing but hot air, this "proposal" is going nowhere.

The proposal gives every family a $15,000 standard deduction, worth $4500 to people in the top tax bracket (who most likely already have insurance), and $1500 to people in the 10% tax bracket (the working poor, who most likely need insurance).
How much family plan health insurance does $1500 buy?

One with an unaffordable copay and high deductable.
