Declaration of Health Care Independence
We, therefore, the People and Representatives of the United States of America, do solemnly Publish and Declare that health care reform, as a matter of principle, must:
- Protect as inviolate the vital doctor-patient relationship;
- Reject any addition to the crushing national debt heaped upon all Americans;
- Improve, rather than diminish, the quality of care that Americans enjoy;
- Be negotiated publicly, transparently, with genuine accountability and oversight;
- Treat private citizens at least as well as political officials;
- Protect taxpayers from funding of abortion and abortion coverage;
- Reject all new mandates on patients, employers, individuals or states;
- Prohibit expansion of taxpayer-funded health care to those unlawfully present in the United States;
- Guarantee Equal Protection under the law and the Constitution;
- Empower, rather than limit, an open and accessible marketplace of health care choice and opportunity.
