Health Care
Access to quality, affordable healthcare is critical to the well being of America, today and in the future. Central to this is addressing the needs of the 45 million uninsured Americans, strengthening the Medicare system through a fair and meaningful prescription drug benefit, and giving patients the clout to challenge the decisions of health insurers. Only through action on these critical issues can we meet the pressing health care concerns of our nation.

Democrats believe we must pursue new policies that take our country in a different direction. The Bush Administration’s FY 2007 budget fails on that score; it continues with more of the same wrong priorities that have taken our country in the wrong direction. It puts special interests first and the American people last. It is fiscally reckless, adding trillions to the deficit over the next 10 years, and morally irresponsible, slashing funding for key priorities to America’s middle class. Democrats are fighting to restore fiscal responsibility and to bring real solutions to the American people, along with economic prosperity, a strong national defense, affordable health care and energy, and strong public schools.

“ Under the Republican's plan, millions of seniors that choose to remain in traditional Medicare would see their premiums rise. In a study of the effects on premiums under the proposed legislation some beneficiaries would pay up to three times as much as others for some Medicare services. This is unconscionable. Equity has always been a fundamental tenet of Medicare. All seniors deserve a fair deal. ” Rep. Marion Berry (D-AR) |
