Heritage Foundation, WebMemo #803, July 22, 2005
"The House of Representatives will soon consider a major package
of health care bills. The package, if enacted, would significantly
improve the functioning of America's health insurance markets and
establish a solid foundation for further transformation of America's
health care system." The health care package consists of three
major proposals: The first plans to establish association health
plans. The second aims to "foster interstate commerce in health
insurance, enabling individuals and families to buy health insurance
across state lines. The third would extend federal funding for health
insurance pooling demonstrations and programs, including high-risk
pools." Nina Owcharenko is a senior policy analyst for
health care at The Heritage Foundation's Center for Health Policy
