Health Care
There is no doubt that healthcare reform is necessary. Too many people don’t have access to quality, reasonably-priced healthcare. Too many families are underinsured, and too many families are one diagnosis away from financial ruin. The time is now to move forward with healthcare reform. While debate swirls on Capitol Hill about different proposals, Congressman Tiberi believes:
- Pre-existing conditions should be covered and no one should be denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition.
- A person should be able to keep their health coverage if they lose their job, change jobs, or move to another state.
- Healthcare decisions should be made by patients and doctors together, not by government bureaucrats.
- Healthcare reform should include wellness and preventative measures.
- Individuals and small businesses should be able to band together and to receive the same health benefits as large companies.
- If you like the healthcare plan you currently have, you should be able to keep it.
- Healthcare plans should be able to be purchased across state lines to increase access and lower the cost.
- Lawsuit reform is an important element in healthcare reform to decrease the cost of defensive medicine.
- Healthcare reform should be done in a fiscally responsible way. We shouldn’t be burying our children in mountains of debt. There’s a way we can reform healthcare without putting our children’s financial future in jeopardy.
