How to Provide Affordable Health Care to all Americans

• Protect what’s working in U.S. health care system
• Keep your current doctor at less cost
• Create a Health insurance Exchange
• A One-Stop-Shop for a health care plan
• Compare benefits and prices
• Choose a plan that is best for individuals and their family
• One of the “Options” needs to be a “Public Option”
• Present a broader range of choices, and inject competition into the health care market, so that waste is forced out of the system, and keep the insurance companies honest.
• Provide “Hardship Waiver” for those who still can not afford health care
• Change the approach of “Pre-Existing Conditions”
• Health Care Reform that is not a cost that adds to the deficit
• Health Care reform that is deficit neutral in the next decade

Expanding coverage for all Americans will come at a cost. Making health care affordable for all Americans will cost approximately $1 Trillion over the next decade.

Failing to reform the U.S. Health Care System to reduce cost growth will cost trillions of dollars more in lost economic growth and lower wages.
