Medical professionals, not insurance company bureaucrats, should be making health care decisions.

We love a growing private sector that allows people freedom of choice, to choose their health plan, to choose their doctor, to choose their hospital.

We can have the best health insurance options in the world, and people still won't get needed care if we don't increase our supply of primary care physicians and nurses.

Health care should be affordable for everyone.

Medical care is one of the only sectors in which Americans are asked to make significant, long-term decisions without knowing the exact price of those decisions up front. Americans deserve to make informed decisions about their medical options.

No one should have to choose between medicine and other necessities. No one should have to use the emergency room every time a child gets sick. And no one should have to live in constant fear that a medical problem will become a financial crisis.

Health insurance should be a given for every citizen.

From my time in Health I know that choice empowers people lives.

I want to give consumers way more choices in health care. Choice and competition always drive down costs better than central control.

We've also seen another future we could choose. First of all, we'd have the right to choose. It's an America in which no one can charge us more than men for the exact same health insurance; in which no one can deny us affordable access to the cancer screenings that could save our lives; in which we decide when to start our families.
