Scott Walkers health plan …

Is just plain stupid and for anyone with half a brain to say the plan will lower premiums by 25% is beyond stupid. This is a prime example of Republicans displaying a complete lack of understanding about the health care system and the psychology affecting health care decisions by individuals. 

Mr. Walker pro­posed would pro­vide a tax credit of $900 a year for those 17 years old or younger and es­ca­late to a credit of $3,000 for peo­ple be­tween the ages of 50 and 64. It also would in­crease an­nual lim­its on tax-shel­tered health sav­ings ac­counts, a pop­u­lar pro­gram for people in high-deductible plans, and would pro­vide a $1,000 re­fund­able tax credit to any­one who signs up. Walker aides said it could re­duce pre­miums by as much as 25%.  WSJ 8-19-15
