Yesterday, 10/29, Speaker Pelosi introduced legislation that will fundamentally alter how Americans manage their personal health care choices. The Pelosi Health Care Plan spent American liberties to purchase House Democratic votes in order to secure a political victory. The resulting legislation has put freedom and American ingenuity under the knife. For the sake of the country, we must kill this bill.
While Pelosi bought votes behind closed doors, Republicans stood ready with an alternative approach that would fix the problems in our system and, most importantly, not put health care choices in the hands of Washington bureaucrats. Congress should focus on what is driving up the costs of health care and how it can insure people who want and need insurance but have been denied coverage, rather than force through a public option that will crowd out private insurance and create a government-run system. Congress should focus on increasing the accessibility, affordability and portability of private health insurance and enact common sense and cost saving reforms such as national medical liability reform, not force a new system upon Americans that we, as a country, cannot afford.
