This bill is a better choice than the president's so called universal health care where every taxpayer will be paying for everyone's healthcare and where your healthcare will be 1. rationed 2. decided not by you and your doctor but by a government official. Universal healthcare has been tried and has failed everywhere it's been tried, look at Canada, UK where the patients are coming to the US for their surgeries because they were denied by their government or the wait was too long; look at VA hospitals here in the US, that is government run and we all know how horrible the care is. The Patients' Choice Act of 2009 transforms health care in America by strengthening the relationship between the patient and the doctor; using choice and competition rather than rationing and restrictions to contain costs; and ensuring universal, affordable health care for all Americans. The Patients' Choice Act promotes innovative, State-based solutions, along with fundamental reforms in the tax code, to give every American, regardless of employment status, age, or health condition, the ability and the resources to purchase health insurance. The comprehensive legislation includes concrete prevention and transparency initiatives, long overdue reforms to Medicare and Medicaid, investments in wellness programs and health IT, and more. HERE IS A PORTION OF THE PRESS RELEASE DESCRIBING PATIENTS' CHOICE: 'As a practicing physician, I have seen first-hand how giving government more control over health care has failed to make health care more affordable and accessible. The American people deserve health care reform that will work, not another round of so-called reform that repeats the same failed policies of the past. Congress and the administration have the opportunity to pursue bold reform and a fresh start. The Patients' Choice Act will provide every American with access to affordable health care without a tax increase, more debt and waiting lines' Dr. Coburn said. The name of the bill says it all it's the PATIENTS' CHOICE, do you want your choice taken away from you for one of the most important aspects of your life Please support this bill by signing the petition which will be forwarded to the House. We, the undersigned support S. 1099 The Patients' Choice Act of 2009

Sponsor

I am a concerned Taxpaying American Citizen who does not want government to directly interfere in my personal health care decisions which should be between me and my doctor only. Obama's plan will increase federal bureaucracy, spending and taxes. I have decided to be active and get the word out on the bill S. 1099 The Patients' Choice Act of 2009 sponsored by Senator Tom Coburn which is the better choice. Please join me in this important cause.
