Senator Mike Enzi of Wyoming delivered this week's Republican Weekly Address and discusses Republican concerns about the health care bills introduced by congressional Democrats as well as commonsense reforms thus far ignored in the "go-it-alone" approach they're taking.Among the concerns detailed by Senator Enzi are:
The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office's analysis shows that the current bills will raise costs, not lower them
The bills expand comparative effectiveness research which many fear would lead to rationing of care
Senator Enzi also highlights reforms supported by Jack in the current debate including:
Promoting more and better choices when it comes to health care and giving individuals the right to chose the best plan for them
Giving small businesses the ability to form Association Health Plans which would give them the same purchasing and negotiating power as large corporations
Reforms to the current tax code with respect to health care which would give everyone an equal footing
Greater incentives for and education about preventive medicine which would bring about a healthier America
