Implemented statewide health insurance exchanges so that self-employed and small business owners can buy portable health insurance.  Such a program would allow businesses and individuals to pool purchasing power for insurance while offering a wide array of health coverage that individual participants can select.  Such a method would allow employers to continue to contribute to the purchasing of health insurance for employees while not over burdening them with cost.  It would also allow two-salary families to take advantage of both employers’ health insurance contributions, as opposed to choosing one over the other.
