U.S. Congressman Pat Tiberi | Representing the 12th District of Ohio

Health Care

Congressman Tiberi believes the Democrats' trillion-dollar government takeover of health care should be repealed and replaced with common-sense measures to lower the cost and expand access to those who are uninsured or under-insured.   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.
