Reform Proposal Press Conference, 12-03-08
The Campaign for an American Solution is working hard to build support for a new comprehensive health care reform proposal. The new proposal was put together after the Campaign's nationwide listening tour in which Americans from all walks of life shared their personal health care stories and ideas and suggestions on how to reform the health care system.
The American people clearly outlined the concerns they have with the current health care system: the rising cost of medical care, affordability for working families and small businesses, coverage for pre-existing conditions and portability for those changing jobs. The Campaign was able to take these perspectives back to Washington and use the information to inform the policy discussions which led to the development of the reform proposal.
Specifically the proposal addresses the concerns the American people had by:
- Building on the current employer-based system
- Making common-sense changes to reduce health care costs
- Strengthening the health care safety net
- Providing a helping hand for working families and small businesses
- Guaranteeing coverage for everyone
- Improving the quality and value of medical care
The Campaign believes the proposal will lead to a stronger health care system that will benefit all Americans.
