If we’re going to fix our economy, we must fix America’s broken health care system – we cannot afford to wait. Crushing health care costs have made it impossible to strengthen our economy, with families and businesses all struggling to make ends meet.
Reforming health care means: keeping the health care you have, if you like it, seeing the doctor of your choice, increasing the quality of care while decreasing costs and eliminating waste, helping small businesses stay competitive, and reforming the insurance market so you will never face losing your coverage. Now is the time, to guarantee everyone access to quality, affordable health care.
Health care reform can't wait. Families are losing their homes to health care bills, our businesses can't compete, and millions of people wake up everyday hoping and praying that they don't get sick because they don't have insurance.
Congress needs to act quickly on this crisis and pass comprehensive health care reform this year that:
- Guarantees quality, affordable health care for all.
- Creates a public health insurance option to increase choice and competition in the market.
- Shares the responsibility for the health of our nation between businesses, government and individuals.
- Improves care for the chronically ill.
- Invests in the health care workforce.
I urge you to support a health care reform plan that is rooted in these principles, and to pass that plan this year.
