Glading: Health Care Reform Should Empower Patients, Not Government
Barrington, NJ – Responding to disturbing reports that Washington Democrats plan to “ram” a government takeover of health care through Congress despite overwhelming public opposition, 1st District Congressional candidate Dale Glading called on Rep. Rob Andrews to break with his party and listen to his constituents.
“In town hall meetings and tea party rallies across America including right here in South Jersey, concerned citizens continue to rise up and demand an end to reckless spending in Washington,” Glading declared. “Rob Andrews, however, continues to stubbornly back government schemes to nationalize the health care system. His constituents clearly disagree, so it’s high-time for Congressman Andrews to reverse course and respect the wishes of the people who elected him.”
According to recent news reports, the Democrat-controlled Congress is now expected to approve a reconciled version of government takeover legislation and President Obama has pledged to sign the budget-busting bill. If adopted, devastatingly expensive mandates and taxes will force thousands of South Jersey families to abandon their private health insurance plans. All taxpayers will face higher premiums, diminished medical care, and longer wait times for life-saving health care procedures. The inevitable result will be more – not less – South Jerseyans with substandard health care or no plan at all. (Source: The Wall Street Journal, “Obamacare is All About Rationing,” August 18, 2009)
Dale Glading knows that there is a better, more affordable way to expand health care access to all Americans. Dale firmly believes that individuals and their doctors should make health care decisions – not Washington or Trenton bureaucrats. Dale also supports expanding health care access to all Americans by allowing health care consumers to purchase affordable, portable, and customizable health insurance packages tailored to serve individual needs.
“Unfortunately for American taxpayers, there’s nothing ‘common’ about ‘common sense’ in Washington, D.C.,” Glading added. “Politicians should no longer force a 25-year-old male to pay for gynecological care or a young woman to foot the bill for prostate exams. I’m calling on Rob Andrews and his allies in Washington to abandon ideology, listen to their constituents and pursue health care reforms that empower patients – not the government.”
