10:34 pm
for individuals and our country joining us now from denver is hadley manning the director of policy for independent for the independent women's forum hadley thank you so much for being with us really appreciate your time and before we get to it could you tell us just a little bit about your organization your history. current independent women's forum is that twenty five year old organization based in washington d.c. and our mission is to speak about issues of importance to women and family instead of course tax reform and health reform both in that bucket did you all start around the clarence thomas time was at the beginning of when you were you're out there the clarence hill anita hill. yes in the early one nine hundred ninety s. and of course you can tell from our title that we're primarily interested in women the vast majority of our staff are women and we sort of originally formed as an alternative to feminist organizations that we believed were getting away from being
10:35 pm
pro women and became more. democrat organizations or left leaning organizations so we wanted to step in and be a pro women organization with an alternative voice now on to health care i'm not sure if it's going to happen or not the a.c.l.u. portion it looks like it might but you know if the individual mandate is goes computing is killed what happens to that what happens to the country then what gets put in its place remember the president was going to repeal and replace what didn't seem like there's any replace now so what happens do you think oh it's a it's a fascinating issue for people who like to study help policy of course the individual mandate in itself isn't really a solution in terms of health policy it's sort of a side effect or a symptom once you create regulatory environment that might invite people to only buy health insurance when they do you have health care problems or when they become
10:36 pm
sick and that's the case under the affordable care act then you have to create some kind of mechanism to encourage people to buy into the system even when they aren't sick when they're young and when they're healthy and that's the goal of the individual mandate that's the goal of similar mandates and other health care systems around the world for example in the swiss system there's such a pretty hefty penalty that pete. will have to pay for going without insurance and president obama when he was that candidate actually for office in two thousand and eight he said you know if we wanted to get rid of homelessness we could try to mandate that everyone buy house but people can't i think that they can't afford it and unfortunately that's been the case under the affordable care act many people and spite of the penalty are going without insurance opting to pay the penalty which is on average between four and five hundred dollars a year for people who face the penalty versus those premiums under the affordable care act which unsubsidized cost over four hundred dollars a month for someone who is thirty years old for example so what do you what is the
10:37 pm
plan on the what do we do how do we replace it hadley how do we think you know i agree i agree there are problems but what is right what's a solution so getting rid of the individual mandate just like putting it in place isn't really at the heart of the debate at the heart of the debate is how do we make those health insurance premiums more affordable for people because that's ultimately the greatest incentive to buy health insurance it's something that most people like to carry especially considering the high cost of medical care in this country and making health insurance premiums more affordable this is a subject of great debate over the summer as republicans put together a health care package that ultimately did not pass but one of their key ingredients was let's give states the opportunity to change some of those regulations under the affordable care act for example the essential health benefits which is a list that the department of health and human services but still get there and they say every plan must cover this ten different categories of care and services in our health care system where as some people may not want to buy
10:38 pm
a policy that includes every category includes every treatment and service that the federal government says it's necessary or essential and so are moving that regulation or at least offering greater flexibility for states there might be opportunities for insurers that the together more basic insurance plans don't cover everything but of course not everyone needs every piece of coverage so seeing those average premiums come down that's ultimately a solution. hadley thank you so much for your time you know i would just keep waiting for the right solution and nobody's come up with it we have more people covered by health insurance now it's not perfect but i keep people wanting not just the the repeal part but the replace part so we have a healthier current country hadley heath medi the director of policy for independent women's forum thanks for your time thank you. fires continue to burn in southern california and the latest report just from just
