Bush 's Health Care Plan: Promoting Affordable Health Care for Every American

President Bush believes all Americans should have access to affordable, quality health care. President Bush is working to address the root causes of rising health care costs, rather than shifting the costs to taxpayers or forcing Americans into an inflexible, one-size-fits-all bureaucratic system. The President’s plan reduces the rising cost of health care; provides affordable coverage to those who need it most – low-income children and families, small businesses, the self-employed, and people who do not get health benefits through their job; and improves health care information, quality, and safety. To achieve the goal of more affordable health care, the President has:

Established new, tax-free Health Savings Accounts (HSA) which allow Americans to own and control their own health care.

Opened or expanded community and rural health centers with the goal of serving an additional 6.1 million people who live in underserved and rural areas.

Granted waivers and flexibility to states to extend eligibility under Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to an estimated 2.6 million low-income Americans.

Implemented a new rule to lower drug costs for millions of Americans by strengthening competition between generic and brand-name drugs, saving American consumers more than $35 billion in drug costs over the next ten years.

Created a Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit to help seniors pay for their medicines.

Read the President's plan for affordable health care for every
American.
