Keith Hennessy, who was an economic advisor to President George W. Bush, got his hands on what purports to be a draft of Sen. Ted Kennedy's healthcare bill.

I haven't read the whole document and don't have any thoughts on it yet but thought it should be posted here for public consumption.

Here is the PDF version and here is the Word version.

The Spectator's esteemed Philip Klein, who has been toiling away in the Martha's Vineyards of healthcare policy, posted a good related item earlier today.

Why do i find it paradoxical a bill with the short title, "Health Care Choice Act" contains so many mandatory involuntary mandates? Maybe I'm just too cynical.

Let the market take care of this. Wal-Mart made the best prescription drug plan with free market principles. Allow individuals to purchase the health care they want. Why is it, as a man, I have to buy insurance for gynocological exams and mamograms? Why do I have to pay for "healthy baby" insurance when I don't have children. Why do I need to pay for the mental health parity stipulations in this stupid? Why am Ipaying for this crap I don't need that is forced on my insurance provider by politicians? Rediculous.
