This is because the current tax code rewards businesses with deductions for health insurance premiums while the individual citizen receives no such consideration. Our first goal is to provide a tax credit for health insurance directly to citizens so that can afford to purchase his own coverage. This will ensure portability of coverage when the individual changes employers or is between jobs. Secondly, we should empower citizens to create medical savings accounts from tax deferred dollars. These MSA's would be used to cover routine medical costs.
Money is indeed a corrupting influence in politics.
Excessive campaign contributions are only a symptom of the malady and not the illness itself. Government has grown so large, and controls such a enormous portion of our wealth that it makes good business sense to invest in parties and candidates. Many large contributors give to both parties to ensure favored treatment, patronage and government contracts no matter who is in office. Libertarians believe that right to contribute one's own money to political campaigns is both a natural property right and is Constitutionally protected free speech. The solution lies in reducing the size and influence of government.
