President Obama and the liberals in Congress have dismantled the free
market health care system and replaced it with health care “deform.”
They have passed measures that compromise the sacred patient-doctor
relationship, eliminate patient choice, stick ta bureaucrat in the
examining room, ration care and do nothing to limit frivolous lawsuits
that drive up the cost of health care. In all these provisions, they
made health care more expensive and less accessible for American
families they claim to protect.
Under the guise of making health care a “right” for all people, President Obama and the liberals in Congress instead extended the tentacles of government, expanding their control and diminishing patients’ rights. They have also made it more difficult and more expensive for doctors to practice medicine, including specialized practitioners who are desperately needed to save lives. In reality, their attempts at reforming the system have actually deformed it.
The majority of Americans agree: it’s time to repeal and replace Obamacare with patient-centered, free market reforms. It’s time to institute legitimate and sweeping tort reform that lets doctors practice medicine without fear of frivolous lawsuits. Looser pay laws would be a great start! And loosening the restrictions on Health Savings Accounts would help to empower Americans to save and invest their own money to expand their options to care.
Let’s level the playing field under the current tax code and allow the deductibility of health insurance premiums regardless of whether they are purchased by the employer or the employee. That would help shift the ownership of one’s health care back to where it belongs, the individual.
Patient-centered free market heath care reforms have already been developed and introduced in Congress, but they are stuck in committee and they can’t get out. With the right leadership we can get them out and get them passed.
