I think this WSJ article is free for anyone to read: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204251404574342170072865070.html
but just in case you cannot read it, here are the 8 bullet points (and a quotation) from Whole Foods founder John Mackey about "The Whole Foods Alternative to ObamaCare Eight things we can do to improve health care without adding to the deficit": Remove the legal obstacles that slow the creation of high-deductible health insurance plans and health savings accounts (HSAs). Equalize the tax laws so that employer-provided health insurance and individually owned health insurance have the same tax benefits. Repeal all state laws which prevent insurance companies from competing across state lines. Repeal government mandates regarding what insurance companies must cover. Enact tort reform to end the ruinous lawsuits that force doctors to pay insurance costs of hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. Make costs transparent so that consumers understand what health-care treatments cost. Enact Medicare reform. We need to face up to the actuarial fact that Medicare is heading towards bankruptcy and enact reforms that create greater patient empowerment, choice and responsibility. Finally, revise tax forms to make it easier for individuals to make a voluntary, tax-deductible donation to help the millions of people who have no insurance and aren't covered by Medicare, Medicaid or the State Children's Health Insurance Program.
