We should expand health savings accounts so people can save in a tax-advantaged way for more routine healthcare needs.

I believe we can incentivize more affordable health care in general by better regulating insurance and creating meaningful competition for health care services.

One way to make health care more affordable is a Flexible Savings Account that allows families to save tax free money to pay for medical bills.

We have a plan that creates universal access programs at the state level which allows folks to access insurance if they're denied by their insurer.

We need the ability to buy healthcare insurance across state lines that would increase competition and drive down cost.

People would have a health care insurance policy they can call their own. They could choose one that exactly fits their families' needs and their budgets, be able to take that coverage with them from job to job and be able to fire their insurance company if it doesn't treat them well.

The single best thing we can do is expand competition. Let people purchase health insurance across state lines. If you want to expand access, what you want to do is increase choices and drive down cost.

Bring market forces to bear on health care insurers. Creating a health care 'exchange,' one of the better ideas included in House Bill 3200, creates affordable, accessible and portable insurance for millions of Americans.

A public option is essential to creating the cost-savings necessary to offset the cost of providing all Americans access to affordable health care.
