‘Insures More Americans in Half the Time at No Cost’

“All Americans should have a health insurance plan that they can afford, own, and keep – that government can never take over or take away. No American should be forced into a government-run system that limits their choices and rations their care.” – Sen. Jim DeMint

The Health Care Freedom Plan would allow every American access to health insurance and according to a study by the Heritage Foundation, would cover 22.4 million currently uninsured Americans within the five years.

The Health Care Freedom Plan:

* Protects the right of Americans to keep their employer-based plan if they so choose.
* Provides Americans without employer-based health insurance with vouchers of $2000 for individuals and $5000 for families to purchase health insurance.
* Allows Americans with Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) to use their HSA funds to pay for insurance premiums, encouraging employers to contribute to their employees’ HSAs.
* Creates a national market for health insurance by allowing individuals to purchase health insurance plans in any state.
* Provides block grants to states to develop innovative models that ensure affordable health insurance coverage for Americans with pre-existing health conditions.
* Reduces predatory and frivolous malpractice lawsuits against physicians and hospitals.
* Assures that every health care consumer has access to price information prior to treatment so they can make informed decisio about their care.
* Repeals financial bailouts (TARP) to fund health care vouchers.
