We will insure millions more hard working Americans by making health insurance MORE affordable (not free or government-paid) by encouraging greater competition, promoting preventive care and ending insurance company discriminatory practices. Currently, it cost you and me $billions every year when those w/o insurance go to the emergency room for basic care.

We will also invest in productivity improvements, and save in the longer term, by making the health care system and infrastructure more efficient.
