Health Care
Congressman Blackburn sits on the vital Energy and Commerce Committee that oversees health care in the U.S. House, and knows that health care is one of the most pressing fiscal challenges facing Federal and State governments, businesses of all sizes, and the American family.
Marsha Blackburn is concerned at how health care costs continue to squeeze the budgets of families, businesses, and governments around the country. Excess regulation and burdensome bureaucratic practices only make health care more expensive and less available for millions of Americans.
Congressman Blackburn is committed to expanding high quality, accessible, and affordable health care. To get there, she knows Congress must transform our current bureaucracy-driven, overregulated heath care system to a patient-centered system based on consumer choice and free-market competition.
To do so, she knows Congress must immediately tackle the looming entitlement crisis that will soon overwhelm the current system, and spur investment in a nation-wide health information technology system to improve care and reduce costs.
