From the WSJ

This is an opinion piece from the August 12 Wall Street Journal by John Mackey, Chairman and CEO of Whole Foods entitled The Whole Foods Alternative to ObamaCare. It gives his opinion on other ways to accomplish health care reform without resorting to the government taking it over, directly or indirectly.

Politicians on the left have taken to saying that the GOP is the party of "no" and has no ideas of its own. The suggestions put forth here show that that's not the case. In fact, I've heard all the ideas presented in this article for quite some time now, but Mackey really sums it up quite nicely and succinctly. When you add to that he has the experience of actually running a large company and having to figure out how to efficiently provide health benefits for thousands of employees, I think he's worth listening to.

What are your thoughts?
