WASHINGTON--(Business Wire)--
Today, House Republicans are holding a press conference in front of a rallying
crowd to oppose the Democrat's health reform plan introduced late last week.
Campaign for Liberty, which announced its support for an alternative to the
Democrat health reform plan last week as well, is also launching a new project
and website to promote its proposal. 

The project, Operation Health Freedom (http://www.OperationHealthFreedom.com),
boasts a site which gives visitors information on the legislation and on how to
contact their representatives in Congress to urge them to support this
alternative health reform package. 

"Campaign for Liberty is proposing that Congress try passing legislation that
promotes true health freedom," said John Tate, President of Campaign for
Liberty. "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." 

The Operation Health Freedom package 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. In
addition, it makes 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.
