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?
So you don't feel the citizens should be responsible for their own care? Incidentally if you allow citizens who are actually responsible for their own health care the ability to have some control over what they're paying in that will be reflected in the price of health care for all. For example I own an insurance agency; the more people in TN that carry insurance the less the cost of insurance is. In state like TX and FL they have a large amount of people who are uninsured for whatever reason; this causes the price of insurance to skyrocket. Insurance is insurance the more people who are willing to be responsible for their own insurance the less the cost of that insurance.
