President's Letter

My fellow Americans,

America’s health care facilities and medical professionals are the best in the world. Keeping our Nation competitive requires affordable and available health care. Our government has a responsibility to provide health care for the poor and the elderly, and we are meeting that responsibility. For all Americans, we must confront the rising cost of care, strengthen the doctor-patient relationship, and help people afford the insurance coverage they need. All Americans deserve reliable, high-quality, and reasonably priced health care that will be there when we need it.

To meet these challenges, my Administration has developed policies that will improve the Nation’s health care system by making it more affordable, transparent, portable, and efficient. We will strengthen Health Savings Accounts and continue to call on Congress to pass Association Health Plans, so all Americans can have the same advantages when buying insurance. We will do more to make insurance coverage portable, so workers can change jobs without having to worry about losing their health insurance. We will make wider use of health information technology to help reduce costs, save lives, and improve quality of care. And to stem frivolous and wasteful lawsuits that are driving too many good doctors out of practice, I am calling on Congress to pass medical liability reform this year.

My Administration will continue to pursue innovative ways to make sure our health care system meets the needs of all Americans. These efforts will help Americans continue to benefit from the greatest medical system in the world.
