Health Care
Consumers for Health Care Choices, a project of The Heartland Institute, seeks to preserve individual freedom, improve the quality of health care, and improve the efficiency of America’s health care system. The best way to do this is by empowering individuals by giving them more control over the dollars spent on their behalf. We believe Obamacare moves the nation in just the opposite direction, and therefore ought to be repealed and replaced.
Elements of free-market based reform in health care include expanding Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), replacing the tax deduction for employer-provided health insurance with a refundable tax credit, removing regulations that discourage competition and choice in insurance and among health care providers, and reduce the costs associated with litigation. We work with doctors, insurers, privacy advocates, health care entrepreneurs, and consumers to help make this happen.
