Healthcare+-+Thompson



Americans have the best health care in the world. Some choose not be insured, others can't afford it. Thompson feels that every American deserves health insurance coverage that is affordable, fully accessible, and portable. Coverage should meet their individual needs and put them in control. Access to affordable, portable health care can be made available for all Americans without imposing new mandates or raising taxes. Current government programs must also be improved so the people who truly need help can get the health care they need.

Thompson is committed to a system that provides more information and more opportunities to choose affordable health care options that best meet their needs and those of their families. He also wants to improve the individual health of all Americans. His plan also promotes and speeds medical research and life-sciences innovation.
