One of the major goals of health insurance reform is to bring down the cost.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The goal of real healthcare reform must be high-quality, universal coverage in a cost-effective way.
I understand that in these difficult economic times, the potential for any additional expense is not welcomed by American businesses. But in the long run, the health insurance reform law promises to cut health-care costs for U.S. businesses, not expand them.
Successful health reform must not just make health insurance affordable, affordable health insurance has to make health care affordable.
We need to be careful when we talk about cutting health care costs. They are not going to be reduced - what we really want to do is do is slow the rate of increase.
We think healthcare costs should be going down, not up. We think people should be able to keep insurance that they had.
The best way to reduce the cost of medical care is to reduce the illness.
As Congress debates overhauling the nation's health care system, it should not authorize a reform plan that would further our financial woes. We must avoid creating an unsustainable government program. There is no question that reform is needed, but health care can be made more affordable without massive and expensive new bureaucracies.
What Obamacare does is decreases choices and drives up cost.
Let's drive the message home: we need health insurance reform, we need a strong public option, and we won't settle for less.
It is critical that we pass legislation to dramatically reform our health insurance system, and this reform should include a genuine public option, universal coverage, an end to insurance policy rescissions, and no restrictions against covering people with pre-existing conditions.
