Abstract
The president's proposal to introduce tax credits for the purchase of health insurance will enable millions of Americans to purchase private health insurance, improving the functioning of private markets, empowering patients to make informed decisions, and increasing the use of high-value health care. Evidence points to the availability of comprehensive individual insurance for the young and the old, the sick and the healthy. There are a number of policies that would increase access to the nongroup market, none of which would adversely affect group markets. These policies together will ensure that all Americans have good, affordable health insurance choices available to them.Keywords
