* Sauerberg unveiled a plan to revise the health insurance system…

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Steve Sauerberg says the nation’s health care system must undergo a free-market, capitalist overhaul to better serve the American public. […]

Along with fighting insurance fraud and simplifying the application process, Sauerberg’s health care plan would credit subscribers who buy their own insurance. Sauerberg proposes that taxpayers receive a $2,000 rebate for individuals, or a $5,000 rebate for families, to purchase their own insurance, as opposed to giving employers a tax benefit for providing their employees with insurance.

“Giving families control over the insurance they purchase will also ensure that individuals get the coverage most appropriate for their age, and need,” Sauerberg said.

The article doesn’t explain it, but it looks like Sauerberg wants to take away the employer tax benefit. That may not go over too well in a campaign. It’s not like he’s gonna win anyway, but go ahead and discuss.
