Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that any health care bill considered by the 111th Congress should incorporate: (1) the ability to receive point-of-service health care in preventative, emergency, and rehabilitative settings in rural and urban areas, including programs to retain health care professionals and find a long-term solution for the sustainable growth rate formula that will accurately reimburse physicians for the care they provide to Medicare beneficiaries; (2) refundable tax credits for the purchase of health insurance by low-income recipients, together with tax credits for small businesses; (3) medical liability reform; (4) safe and effective health service with measurable results through health information technology; (5) incentives to encourage wellness, prevention, and smart choices involving health, care, treatment, and health insurance coverage; and (6) the ability to choose the best health care plan and options to meet individual and family needs through portable health insurance and Health Savings Accounts.

Ensuring access to affordable and quality health care without increasing the Federal budget or contributing to market inflation while providing greater choices for patient-focused care for individuals and families.
