• Health care is both a moral issue and an economic issue. Our nation must have a health care system that provides quality, affordable coverage for all.
• Each of us must make responsible decisions for ourselves and for our families, including leading an active lifestyle and following a healthy diet.
• Our health care system should be aimed at making Americans healthier, not just paying for medical procedures when health fails.
• All Americans should have choice in their health coverage: those who like their current health care provider should be able to keep it and those who don't should have other options.
•Americans with health insurance need real protections to prevent insurance companies from denying coverage, dropping coverage or limiting benefits when they need help the most.
