Health Care Choice Act
In the era of eBay and Amazon.com, there should be a better way to shop for health insurance.
U.S. Congressman John Shadegg has introduced the Health Care Choice Act, which will bring down the cost of health insurance by a letting people compare insurance plans across the country and pick the one that is right for them.
"People should be able to get the health insurance that best suits their needs," Shadegg said. "Offering people choices in a nation-wide health insurance market will reduce the cost of health insurance for Americans, including the roughly 44 million uninsured."
The White House said in a statement, "The Administration appreciates Congressman Shadegg's commitment to expanding access to affordable health care, and is supportive of his work to lower health care costs by allowing individual Americans more power to select affordable health coverage that best meets their needs."
There are 44 million people in the United States living without health coverage, and the high cost of health insurance is one of the major reasons. The Health Care Choice Act will reduce costs by avoiding red tape and expensive state mandates.
Shadegg said, "Rather than going through 50 different regulatory processes, this bill will allow an insurance company to go through one process and sell to people in all 50 states. We can help people, not by setting up a massive new government bureaucracy, but by empowering individuals to make the best choice for themselves and their families."
