Rick Santorum’s Health Care Plan
March 28, 2012
We need a solution.....now.
GOP candidate Rick Santorum is lighting up his Wisconsin Primary campaign today, by putting forth his own health care plan.
You can evaluate the ideas for yourself. It’s a plan made simple for campaigning. The Kitchen Cabinet notes that when politicians use words like “unleash”, “reduce”, “increase”, “help”, and “reform”, those are all terms which tell us WHAT needs to be done…not HOW.
We look forward to hearing Santorum detail HOW he would solve the critical problems of healthcare which Mitt Romney has already taken a stab at, and which President Obama thinks can be solved by throwing money at it! Here’s a basic outline of the Santorum campaign’s offering today:
Follow @TKC_USSantorum campaigning in Wisconsin is offering his own health care plan. Different? You decide.
“There is a better way to treat our nations’ health; my Healthcare Freedom Agenda will promote patient-centered healthcare rather than government-centered healthcare. First, my plan honors the fact that primary responsibility for good health lies with people and their families, not a bureaucrat issuing an edict; second, we need market-based reforms, not solutions imposed by Washington.”
In addition, Rick would start with repealing Obamacare and replace it with the following specific provisions:
- Unleash the power of competition and choice
- Ability to purchase health insurance across state lines
- Health coverage that you own and control
- Reduce punitive Tax DIS-incentives on Individuals
- Increase affordability
- Combat costs of defensive medicine and excessive regulation on providers.
- Help Families with the Challenges of Pre-Existing Conditions through State Risk Pools
- Provide states with block grants to fund Medicaid according to their individual needs
- Reform and Strengthen Medicare
- Incentivize Medical Innovation
Sealing the death of the U.S. economy
“As we seek to solve the health care problem, let’s hold true to the principles of John Adams and our other founders enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and in our Constitution rather than the mandates and edicts of King George by respecting and protecting Americans’ fundamental freedoms,” Santorum said. “Let’s embrace freedom and opportunity together and address real challenges with American solutions. This is the best prescription for American’s health and our future.”
