“Universal health insurance” is a myth.  The only way to make health care “affordable” under a “universal health insurance” scheme is through price controls and limiting access.  Any proposal claiming to provide “universal coverage” is nothing more than a system that must rely on private and/or public entities to administer government-run health care.        

We believe any health care reform proposal must follow these principles: 

• Free Choice of Doctors, Hospitals, and Health Plans
• HSAs Option for all Americans
• Tax Fairness and Simplification
• Affordable Health Insurance for Small Business
• Buying Health Insurance Across State Lines
• Health Care Price Disclosure
• High Risk Pools for People Who Are Sick
• Convert DSH Payments into Health Insurance Block Grants

Health care reforms must not impose or create new controls on the public: 

• No Mandates
• No Government Price Controls
• No Basic Benefit Packages or Actuarial Equivalent
• No Health Care GSEs
• No new government programs or expansion of existing ones
