Iowa Republicans are united in support of true health care reform! As the debate continues to rage in Washington, DC, Iowa Republicans are offering a set of bold, state-based initiatives to make health care more accessible, affordable, and portable.

Health care reform solutions need not come from Washington, DC. In fact, the best reforms are often those developed closest to the people. Iowans do not need to wait for national politicians to act. Instead, they can join with Iowa Republicans in pursuit of a set of common sense Iowa Health Care Initiatives and solve Iowa problems with Iowa solutions.

Here is what Republicans will do if Iowa voters give us the opportunity:

• Accessibility
  • Patients Right to Know Act
  • Low-Cost Catastrophic Health Plans for those Under 30
• Affordability
  • Medical Malpractice Reform
  • Expand Health Insurance Tax Deductibility to Individuals and Small Business
  • Prevention Credits: Putting a Premium on Wellness
• Portability
  • No Pre-Existing Exclusions when Changing Plans with the same Insurance Provider
