THE HEALTH SECURITY ACT OF 1993

Health Care That's Always There

Every American citizen will receive a Health Security Card that guarantees you a comprehensive package of benefits that can never be taken away.

Guaranteeing comprehensive benefits that can never be taken away. Controlling health care costs for consumers, business and our nation. Improving the quality of American health care. Increasing choices for consumers. Reducing paperwork and simplifying the system. Making everyone responsible for health care. These are the principles of the Health Security Act of 1993 and they are not negotiable.

In America, rights and responsibilities go hand-in-hand. We will ask everybody to pay something, even if your contribution is small. Everyone must assume responsibility. No one should get a free ride.

Most important, we're going to offer new opportunities and new incentives for people to stay healthy -- and to treat small problems before they become big ones. Our goal should be to keep people healthy, not treat them after they become sick.
