Buchanan Outlines Part of Health Care Reform Plan
Buchanan calls for Tort Reform, Association Health Plans, and Competition Across State Lines as part of a Plan to Reform Health Care
Congressman Vern Buchanan offers common sense solutions to increase access to affordable, quality health care. Buchanan calls for tort reform so doctors can practice preventive medicine instead of defensive medicine; Association Health Plans to allow small businesses to pool together and negotiate better insurance prices; and, competition across state lines as part of his plan to lower insurance costs for individuals.
Funny he mentions Texas. Yes, we have Tort Reform here. It was pushed hard and put on the ballot in 2006 promising to lower rates for everyone. Not only did it not lower rates, but it capped judgments for people seriously harmed by medical incompetence & neglect, and we are now ranked 48th in the percentage of insured adults. Bravo!
