By the way, contrary to what Obama and the Democrats are saying, the Republicans are not the party of no. We owe it to ourselves and to our family to become informed on what both sides are proposing regarding health care reform, then make a decision, and let our voices be heard.
Some of the reforms the the Republicans would like to enact into law include:
- Allow insurers to sell policies across state lines
- Create new state high-risk pools or reinsurance programs to provide people access to health insurance
- Allow small businesses to pool together in associations to purchase health insurance thus making it more affordable
- Discourage "junk" lawsuits by changing medical liability laws to limit non-economic damages
- Crack down on waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid
- Beef up incentives for employer-sponsored "wellness programs" so that workers who participate could get bigger breaks on insurance premiums
