Republicans Have Offered Three Alternative Health Care Reform Bills

Monday, August 24, 2009 - Penny Starr, Senior Staff Writer

(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama and Democrats in Congress -- while pushing their own health care overhauls -- have criticized Republicans as offering only opposition and no ideas for reform, but the GOP, despite the lack of media attention, has introduced three health care bills.

The three Republican bills total almost 400 pages and have been on the table since May and June. In May, Republicans in the House and the Senate formed a bicameral coalition to produce the130-page “Patients Choice Act of 2009.” In June, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) introduced the “Health Care Freedom Plan,” a 41-page proposal. And in July, the Republican Study Committee, under the leadership of Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.), unveiled the “Empowering Patients First Act,” a 130-page plan.

Some of the provisions included in one or more of the bills include: investing in preventive medicine, an overhaul of Medicaid, reduction of abuse and fraud in the Medicare program, supplemental health insurance for low-income families, tax credits for health insurance, and a ban on federal funds being used for abortions...(You can access all of these proposals by clicking on the links. )

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the citizens discover they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury. From that moment forward the citizens will always vote for the candidate promising the most from the public treasury until a democracy will ultimately collapse in fiscal chaos, always followed by a dictatorship”.
