Ideas for Health Care Reform

Fred Thompson's health care reform proposal would seek to:

Make Health insurance affordable, accessible and portable without imposing mandates or new
taxes.

Maintain a consumer driven free market system focusing on cost-effective prevention, chronic-care management and personal responsibility.

Reform the Medicare program including a reduction of the Medicare prescription drug benefit.

Possibly increase fees for high-income Medicare beneficiaries to help bolster the program’s
financial solvency.
