Governor Jindal's Challenge To Washington: Let's Get Together And Do Health Reform Right

Here are a few of Jindal's ideas that hold great promise and would lay the foundation for a better way forward on health care reform.

• Voluntary purchasing pools, where individuals can have a wide choice of coverage options and where insurers compete for consumers based on value rather than a federal one-size-fits-all solution;
• Portability, where consumer would own their health care coverage and keep it from job to job;
• Refundable tax credits, for those who need help and by offsetting these costs by redirecting existing spending, not new spending.
