America’s Innovation Revolution: Patient-Centered Wellness in Our People Powered World

“As the health redistribution bill before us attempts to put its skid marks on history, it further proves Democrats are the party of the past. Their antiquated, government-run take over of Americans’ health care is as ill-suited to our times as a leeching is to laser surgery.

“We do not live on a government-run globe. We live in a people powered world, one belatedly awakening to America’s revolutionary experiment in human freedom and self-government. Today, from the palms of our hands, in nanoseconds we can traverse distant strands of earth to access friends and goods. Why in the world would we put in the palm of a bureaucrat’s hands our health care?

“Yet, this is precisely what the hoary voices of hidebound ideologues demand – namely, that our generation’s innovation revolution and its unprecedented expansion of human empowerment be buried beneath big government.

“They are gravely mistaken: amidst our constantly changing and challenging times during this Age of Globalization, our generation’s innovation revolution is burying big government in the ash bin of history.

“Thus, the public and Republicans oppose the Democrats’ fossilized model of a mammoth government-run takeover of Americans’ health care. Instead, we embrace and harness our generation’s innovation revolution to empower Americans as citizens and consumers; and advance patient-centered wellness.

“Our plan will increase the supply of health care to meet rising demand and reduce costs through such sensible, affordable and helpful reforms as ending exclusions for pre-existing conditions; reforming medical liability laws; expanding Health Savings Accounts; allowing small businesses to band together to provide coverage for employees; permitting health insurance sales across state lines; incentivizing preventative health care and wellness.

“All this can be achieved without trillions of dollars in new spending, taxes, deficits and debt; without big government controlling your health care.

“Trapped in the past, there are those who ignore behind closed doors the opportunities of our age. If Democrats impose their government-run takeover of health care upon the American people, the consequences will be higher costs, lower quality, fewer choices and lost jobs during this painful recession. But for those with an abiding faith in our free republic’s people and their future, there is a better way – maximizing America’s innovation revolution to advance patient-centered wellness in our people powered world.

“Pray we do.”
