President Barack Obama may accept nonprofit health-insurance cooperatives in place of a new government-run plan as long as consumers are guaranteed more choice and competition in buying insurance, a top aide said.
"We would be interested in that" if those conditions are met, Nancy-Ann DeParle, director of the White House Office of Health Reform, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television’s "Conversations with Judy Woodruff" airing today.
I think this is a good idea if these cooperatives are not controlled by the government but are given a great deal of oversight. They should also appoint an MD as the head so there won't be some ignorant bureaucrat running it.
