Summary
This resolution makes the case that the current healthcare entitlement program being considered by Congress is not supported by the majority of Americans; is not fiscally wise or sustainable; and will increase the burden on taxpayers while reducing healthcare options. It further maintains that the federal government does not have the authority to impose a federal healthcare program and urges the U.S. Congress to pursue less costly and more viable alternatives to reduce the cost of healthcare and increase its availability. Lastly, should the 111th Congress decide to abandon rational thinking and thwart the will of the American people by enacting a federal healthcare entitlement, it urges Delaware’s Congressional delegation to advocate for a provision that would require states to choose to “opt-in” to the program.
Title
Urging The 111th Congress To Abandon The Irrational Pursuit Of A Fiscally Irresponsible Federal Healthcare Entitlement Plan And Enact Less Costly Alternatives To Reduce The Cost Of Healthcare And Increase Its Availability For All Americans.
