The 10 Small Business Principles for Healthcare Reform
Universal
Everyone should have access to quality healthcare.
Private
Private business, not government, should provide most healthcare and insurance.
Affordable
Healthcare shouldn't bankrupt you, and costs should be predictable.
Unbiased
Big companies, small companies and individuals should all buy health insurance on the same level playing field.
Competitive
Consumers shopping for health insurance should have many choices among insurers, doctors and hospitals.
Portable
You should be able to move or change jobs without worrying about losing your health insurance.
Transparent
Information on costs and quality of care should be easily available. Also, patients' privacy must be protected.
Efficient
You should get the highest quality and most value out of the dollars you spend on healthcare.
Evidence-Based
The best treatment choices require good information on the available options.
Realistic
Healthcare reform must proceed quickly, but not recklessly.
