Democrats Unveil Health Reform Plan, C4L Has the Alternative

WASHINGTON--(Business Wire)--
Today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats announced their health
insurance reform bill. The unveiling was followed by a call for a vote on the
legislation next week.

"We believe the Democrats` health insurance proposal is far from the answer to
reforming health care for the better," said John Tate, President of Campaign for
Liberty. "Their bill forces people to purchase health insurance, increases
premiums, and creates a public option that will eventually go the way of other
bankrupt government-run programs."

"Campaign for Liberty is proposing that Congress try passing legislation that
promotes true health freedom," continued Tate.

Tate went on to propose an alternative package, which includes legislation
introduced by Congressman Ron Paul. The cornerstone of the package is H.R. 1495,
the Comprehensive Health Care Reform Act of 2009, which provides all Americans
with a tax credit for 100% of health care expenses, a tax credit for premiums
for high-deductible insurance policies connected with a Health Savings Account
(HSA), and allows seniors to use funds in an HSA to pay for a medigap policy, as
well as making all medical expenses tax deductible.

Also included are H.R. 2629, a bill that prevents the government from requiring
people to purchase health insurance, and H.R. 3217, introduced by Congressman
John Shadegg, which permits the purchase of health insurance across state lines
and will ultimately lower costs due to the resulting competition.

Tate continued, "The same government that has given us trillions of dollars in
unfunded liabilities for Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security is not going to
fix our health care system with this latest bureaucratic scheme. It's time to
vote health freedom."
