“The Patients’ Choice Act of 2009,” transforms health care in America by strengthening the relationship between the patient and the doctor; using choice and competition rather than rationing and restrictions to contain costs; and ensuring universal, affordable health care for all Americans. “The Patients’ Choice Act” promotes innovative, State-based solutions, along with fundamental reforms in the tax code, to give every American, regardless of employment status, age, or health condition, the ability and the resources to purchase health insurance. The comprehensive legislation includes concrete prevention and transparency initiatives, long overdue reforms to Medicare and Medicaid, investments in wellness programs and health IT, and more.

I would rather start this process by mandating health insurance companies be allowed to do business in ANY state, period. If we beleive in free enterprise, competition is the best way to drive down costs. I would rather have a choice between 150 insurance companies in my state than the 15 I have now.
I agree. I can't tell if that's in the Act, but if it's not, it could still be added. Lucky you though, Alaska's choices are extremely minimal and most insurance companies designate almost all of our doctor's as "out of plan."
I agree with the competition comments, as long as the insurance company meets the capitalization requirements, and conforms to legislation that requires comparability of plans.
Some insurance companies would bury exclusions for everything in the fine print if they could get away with it.
I'll vote for this based on your description of it.
Obama & the Democrate congress will destroy our health care system. It's not perfect but much better than anything they will give us.
