WE NEED COMMONSENSE HEALTH CARE REFORMS

While we can all agree that our current health care system is flawed there are many different ideas about how to fix it. Recently Democratic Leaders in Congress introduced the "America's Affordable Health Choices Act", which sets the tone for a Washington takeover of the health care system. While this misguided legislation simply offers more of what is wrong with the current system, House Republicans have offered commonsense reforms that will make health care more affordable, reduce the number of uninsured and increase quality.

True health care reform must start by making health care affordable and accessible for all Americans. To accomplish this goal, we must start by eliminating the unnecessary waste, fraud and abuse in our current health care system. We must focus on prevention and wellness programs to help prevent costly procedures after individuals get sick and increasing transparency to improve patients’ access to the best health care information available.
