There is no sector of our economy where the hand of
government is more evident than in health care. Half of what our nation
spends on health care is public money, and this expansion of government
involvement comes at the expense of patient control. The best health
care system is consumer-driven, not government-driven.
ALEC's Health and Human Services Task Force has been
a national leader in promoting free-market, pro-patient health care
reforms at the state level. During the 2008 legislative
session, seven states enacted model legislation developed by ALEC's
HHS Task Force. Additionally, ALEC's HHS Task Force has worked with many
states to develop successful market-based Medicaid reform plans,
including Florida, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Kentucky, Kansas, and Tennessee.
