WIENS SIGNS PLEDGE TO REPLACE HEALTHCARE TAKEOVER WITH REAL REFORMS

Castle Rock- US Senate candidate Tom Wiens signed a pledge sponsored by The Club For Growth today which commits him to "sponsor and support legislation to repeal any federal health care takeover passed in 2010, and replace it with real reforms that lower costs without growing government."

The pledge covers HR3590 and any so-called "fixes," that are passed.

"Real reform in healthcare will be achieved by controlling costs," said Wiens. "The private relationship between a patient and a doctor is the key to this reform.

Tom WiensUploaded on November 5, 2009 by tom.wiens. © All rights reserved.For the federal government to intervene in that relationship under HR3590 is a broad overreach of the powers of the government. Not only is it a constitutional violation, it's an ethical violation. It destroys the basis of the relationship between doctors and patients. Insiders from Washington and Wall Street want to replace your doctor with federal insurance adjusters and 16,500 agents of the IRS.

With the passage of HR3590 the Feds have taken the best medical system in the history of the world and told everyone that they can manage it better," continued Wiens. "I know they can't; the American people know they can't; they only people who are arrogant enough to believe they can manage our healthcare system better are the same Washington insiders and lobbyists who can't even manage our economy.
The federal government has a Department of Energy, yet our dependence on foreign energy continues to grow; the federal government has a Department of Education, yet we've fallen to 18th among industrial nations in education; the federal government can't even manage to make a profit for the US Post Office even though they have a monopoly on carrying letters in the US. But now Washington insiders say they can manage our healthcare system better; a system that already produces some of the best medical outcomes in the history of the world.

"Of course I will sponsor and support legislation to replace HR3590 with real reforms. It will be the first order of business I attend to.

"Real reform won't be achieved by insiders from Washington and Wall Street giving a bailout to their friends while sticking the rest of us with the bill. Real reform will be achieved by increasing portability of insurance, by increasing access to insurance through free markets, by addressing medical lawsuit reform and lowering costs. Shortly I will be releasing a healthcare plan which addresses each of these issues in a way that's meaningful to people on Main Street who provide all the jobs and pay all the taxes."
