The Market, not the government, can solve the health care problems

from the Danklesfen for Congress campaign

Rep. Bill Foster campaigned as an independent and friend of the taxpayer. Healthcare legislation will increase our tax burden, limit the freedom to choose our own coverage, and result in greater job loss. Foster has voted with Nancy Pelosi’s failed agenda over 90% of the time.

Just because healthcare is a problem doesn’t mean Government is the answer. The recent Edmunds.com study estimating each car sold under the Cash for clunkers program costs taxpayers $24,000 and the recent rationing of flu vaccines epitomizes the Federal Government’s inability to manage programs with success or on budget.

Healthcare can be made more affordable by creating a consumer driven market including mandate free insurance which allows the consumer to purchase the plan they choose, promoting Health Savings Accounts which give the consumer greater control over their own healthcare decisions, litigation reform to reduce the amount of frivolous lawsuits, and portable insurance allowing consumers to move their policies from job to job.

The 14th District is deserving of a Congressman with the fortitude to support our values, not one that votes based on whether or not Nancy Pelosi needs his vote.

Wish Jeff had enough $ to be a serious candidate. I'd rather have him than the son of a profiteer or a failed huckster (Purcel).
