Health Care Reform

Editor,

The election of Scott Brown was not a rejection of health care reform. In

2008 both candidates called for reform, and America agreed. The message from Massachusetts to President Obama is to tell Speaker Pelosi and Leader Reid to reach across the aisle and include patient centered options that preserve

choice: Vouchers, portability, group purchases, interstate sales, medical savings accounts and subsidies for pre-existing condition. A bi partisan plan also must include reform of the excessive mal practice lawsuits that add $200 million a year to costs.

America does not need a cradle to grave government take over of one sixth of the economy to make health insurance more affordable and available. Canada and the European Union have that, and very year thousands from these countries came to the US for treatment that is delayed, restricted and denied in these countries -especially to the aged and disabled.
