Healthcare Reform
On June 9, 2009, the Senate Committee released a 615 page bill on healthcare reform.
One of the most controversial proposals for health care reform is the creation of a new government-run "public" health insurance plan that would compete against private insurance. A government-run plan will drive the cost of private healthcare up, not down. Expansion of government-run programs will exacerbate the cost-shift that already drives up average healthcare spending by $1,788 (10.70%) annual per family.
