Congressional Health Care Briefing Book |
A Pro-Patient, Pro-Doctor, Pro-Free Enterprise Agenda For Reform |
There is broad agreement about the goals of health care reform. The disagreements arise in determining the best way to achieve these goals. Those who think government can achieve them favor health care reform legislation that would create huge new bureaucracies and government controls. Those who think the market can achieve them support legislation that would allow all forms of health care and health insurance to compete on a level playing field, while at the same time providing for those excluded from the current system due to poverty or preexisting medical conditions.
