Health-care bill wouldn't bring real reform
By Howard Dean
Thursday, December 17, 2009
If I were a senator, I would not vote for the current health-care bill.
Any measure that expands private insurers' monopoly over health care
and transfers millions of taxpayer dollars to private corporations is
not real health-care reform. Real reform would insert competition into
insurance markets, force insurers to cut unnecessary administrative
expenses and spend health-care dollars caring for people. Real reform
would significantly lower costs, improve the delivery of health care
and give all Americans a meaningful choice of coverage. The current
Senate bill accomplishes none of these.
