R-Arizona, Energy & Commerce
Health Subcommittee Member
Topic: Debate in Congress over health care. Rep. Shadegg. does not think one massive health care bill is the right way to address health care. He thinks the needs of people with pre-existing or chronic conditions should be addressed by creating "high risk" pools that people can enter paying roughly the same rates as others. And Rep. Shadegg thinks the issue of the uninsured is not over whether all Americans should be covered, but how. For those who cannnot afford insurance, government would provide funds to people to select and purchase health care.
