6. UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE COVERAGE AND A PUBLIC OPTION

More than 47 million Americans have no healthcare coverage and live their lives one disease away from catastrophe. Millions more pay for complex and confusing private health insurance. Our businesses are made uncompetitive by spiraling cost increases.

In Congress, I will aggressively pursue health care reform that covers all Americans and reduces costs in the system. We achieve the first objective by creating a basic coverage plan offered to everyone, with subsidies for those who can't afford it otherwise. We achieve the second objective in part by shifting our emphasis from disease care toward prevention and healthy living, practicing evidence-based medicine, and putting technology and administrative standardization in place to reduce staggering overhead costs.

Americans need to be proactive about their health. A recently study said that 1/3 of all incidents of breast cancer were lifestyle related. I believe this is true. I am a cancer survivor and although I was never overweight, I did not have a healthy lifestyle. As Americans we need to be proactive about our health before the wakeup call of a significant health issue. I applaud First Lady Michelle Obama’s efforts to eliminate childhood obesity; I’d follow her lead to encourage this in our own state.
