True reform of our Health Care Industry while respecting constitutional government, free markets and individual liberty.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you had the opportunity to watch the health care summit, there were a few noteworthy suggestions made by the Republican side. One or two were liked, most were dismissed, and none of the suggestions have been adopted in the current bill or discussed further.<\/p>\n For example, a suggestion was made to allow health insurance competition across state lines. This suggestion was dismissed by President Obama as favoring more basic, inexpensive insurance plans. These plans would attract more business. In other words, a considerable amount of Americans would find enough value in basic, inexpensive plans that they’d choose to actually purchase insurance instead of foregoing health insurance altogether.<\/p>\n What can be derived from President Obama’s dismissal is that providing inexpensive insurance plans to the most amount of Americans is not the goal for this health care reform bill. Special interests hold priority over allowing meaningful competition amongst private insurers. This competition, as noted at the health care summit by President Obama himself, would lead to more customers buying the more basic, inexpensive plans.<\/p>\n Apparently, that the customers make this decision of their own volition is what the administration has a problem with. This type of thinking hardly respects an individual’s economic liberty.<\/p>\n In the case we haven’t made it obvious enough, our Campaign for Liberty office is currently working on a major petition push. This petition represents and voices our supporters’ opposition to governmental take over of the health care industry.<\/p>\n
