Excerpt: The Michigan House of Representatives recently passed a bill to stop covering retirement health care benefits for future legislators age 55 and older, a measure seen as symbolic burden-sharing by the legislature. Current Michigan lawmakers and their spouses with at least six years of service are eligible to join the Legislative Retirement System. The bill, passed February 2, removes the eligibility for legislators elected in November of 2010.

Excerpt: The recent decision of a three-judge panel of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which overturned a federal judge's ruling on San Francisco's 'play or pay' employer health insurance mandate, highlights one important fact: The 1974 federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act, known as ERISA, is a mess. It was bad law when it was enacted, and it hasn't gotten better with time. It is because of ERISA that the states have gone crazy with mandated benefits and other regulations.

"The MLR issue hinges on the requirement within Obamacare that forces insurers to spend no more than 20 percent of each insurance premium on non-health care costs in the small group and individual market, and 15 percent in the large-employer market. Shorthand: It's basically a hard cap for insurers' profits, which is odd, not just because such a thing is fundamentally un-American, but because insurers are not very profitable to begin with -- averaging about 4 percent in profit."

Excerpt: Six months ago, whenever Stephen Glick would ask business people if they knew about health savings accounts, or HSAs, two or three people out of a hundred might raise their hands. Today, when Glick, the insurance trust administrator for 72 Connecticut Chamber of Commerce chapters, talks about HSAs, roughly 85 percent of the business people in the room know what they are and can recite some of the benefits.

"None of the legislation under consideration offers a full-fledged, consumer-driven alternative to Obamacare. A genuinely free-market reform package would wipe out Obamacare's insurance regulations and expansion of Medicaid, transition to age-based subsidies for insurance, and strongly incentivize people to maintain continuous coverage. These reforms would produce a vibrant, competitive insurance market where a wide range of affordable coverage is available to all who want it."
