Texas Voice for Health ReformEl Paso, TXMay 8, 2009
Kymberlie Quong Charles, Coordinator
Texas Voice for Health Reform
The Government and the American People Agree…
"The status quo is the one option
that is not on the table," he said. "And those who
seek to block any reform at any cost will not
prevail this time around."
-- President Barak Obama, Christian Science Monitor, March 6, 2009
Does our health care system need complete overhaul,
major reform, minor reform or no reform at all?
Voter attitudes on Health System Change Reforms: Findings from a Survey
of 800 Likely Voters Nationwide, Lake Research Partners, April 20, 2009

“The crucial and weighty step needed is the decision as a country to ensure
access to health care as a public good, just as we do education, roads, military, fire, and police protection.”
-- Anne Dunkelberg, Associate Director, Center for Public Policy Priorities
Texas Voice for Health Reform Principles
AffordabilityAccessibility
Quality
Affordable access to good healthcare must be available for all Americans. It should:
• Cover all who want it
• Be affordable for people at all income levels
• Remain available and affordable when family and economic circumstances change
• Establish both a responsibility for the public to contribute and an assurance of cost containment for individuals and families
• Eliminate health costs as the number one cause of bankruptcy in the United States.
A decent standard of comprehensive care must be established. It should:
• Keep people healthy and treat them when they’re ill
• Cover the whole person
• Not be lost or reduced based on pre-existing conditions or pregnancy
Additionally, in order to be effective, sustainable, equitable, and balanced with our other important priorities as a nation,
national health reform should also address:
• Safe and high quality care
• Costs and Cost-Effectiveness of Healthcare
• Consumer Choice
• Eliminating barriers to and disparities in care
