Reiterating Support for American Health Care Reform

The objectives are clear:

• Improve national health outcomes
• Reduce national health care expenditures as a portion of GDP
• Greatly reduce the number of Americans without health insurance
• Pay for the innovations as we go, rather than increasing government deficits

I support a reform that would include a government health insurance option. If a government option is OK for the military, the Congress and the President, we should be willing to give it a try for willing citizens. If it turns out to be a better option than the HMOs, and I doubt that, then let it grow.
