10th District, Robert Dold: Government Run Health Care is Bad Medicine‏

From the Dold campaign…

The end of 2009 is almost here, and as Election Day, February 2nd, quickly approaches, it is time to look forward to electing a new Congressional leader who will bring your concerns and ideas to Washington. I believe that healthcare, an issue at the forefront of our minds this election season, needs to be reformed the right way—without a government takeover.

The current Democrat-backed health care plan will increase government health expenditures by an estimated $1 trillion over a ten year period. While the consequences of the enormous bill will affect us on a national level, it will also make things worse for Illinois. A recent report released by the Illinois Policy Institute revealed the nationalized health care plan will lower economic growth by costing Illinois 169,000 jobs, impose $57 billion in costs for Illinois taxpayers to bear, and shrink our state’s economy by 5.1 percent.

During a time of extreme economic recession when Illinoisans are struggling to get back to work, a government takeover of our health care plan that will result in hundreds of thousands of job cuts is simply unacceptable. The provisions of the proposed health care bills also include raising taxes by billions of dollars, driving up premiums, and cutting Medicare by $500 million.

As Congressman of the 10th District, I will support a health care plan that lets people make decisions regarding their own healthcare, and doesn’t damage our economy further by cutting jobs and raising taxes.

My Plan for Health Care Reform:

  • Pass lawsuit reform to reduce costly, frivolous suits and defensive medicine
  • Make costs transparent so it is easier for consumers to compare prices
  • Allow consumers to purchase insurance across state lines to create more competition and lower costs
  • End exclusions based on pre-existing conditions
  • Create portable insurance so consumers can take health care with them when they change jobs

If you’re concerned about how the government takeover of our healthcare system could affect your family’s future, I hope you will support me as the right candidate for Illinois’ 10th Congressional District.

Our campaign continues to gain momentum everyday. I hope you will join me in my fight to take back Washington. To make a financial contribution or volunteer, please visit www.doldforcongress.com.

Your time and support are deeply appreciated.
