Second Look at "Healthy, Weathy and Wise"

Amid all the debate over ObamaCare, I routinely see and hear the notion that Republicans, Romney especially, have no plan as an alternative to ObamaCare.  This is bogus.  (First, a return to the staus-quo ante is much preferable to ObamaCare as it is a monstrously destructive and authoritarian law.)  Romney's chief economic advisor (and the man who will guide economic policy for the nation should Romney win the election) wrote a little book on pro-market healthcare reform years ago. I pointed out his book and his healthcare ideas on this blog in 2006!!  Alas, 2006 was the year that the eletorate decided that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid would be the best stewards of our future.  Whoops.  So, these ideas never saw the light of day, but they've been there all along.  Alas, with the nation craving for an alternate solution in the wake of yesterday's SCOTUS decision, what do you know, Hubbard and his co-authors are on the Op-Ed pages of the WSJ today with exactly the ideas they have for healthcare reform first enumerated in their little book.

UPDATE: The original link to the book is dead.  Here is some background on the book and here is more.

The link in your original "Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise" post to Hubbard's book is now dead. For the sake of those readers who do not have a WSJ subscription to read his entire OpEd, how about an alternative link to the book and/or a suitably learned review. Thanks.
