Bush Provides Health Care Changes
Recently president Bush proclaimed in his weekly radio broadcast, “For the sake of America’s small businesses, workers and families, we must make health care more affordable and accessible.” This was a relief to hear because of the sky-rocketing health-care prices.
Apparently, George W. Bush will push Congress to expand the use of the tax-free “Health Savings Account”, which allows people to set aside money for routine medical expenses. This is a pretty convenient account.
He believes that this will encourage more and more American citizens to save money for their health and for the health of their families.
“This year, I will ask Congress to take steps to make these (Health Savings Accounts) more available and much more affordable and more portable,” Bush said on his radio address.
On January 31, George W. Bush will appear before Congress and deliver his State of the Union address laying out his priorities of the year. Several Republicans said that they expect the health care initiative to be cited in that speech.
This is a very important speech and will be remembered for some time. This savings account will be a money saver for many families and employees. Because there was such a shortage of health insurance for employees nowadays, health insurance is becoming more and more difficult to reach.
Bush strongly urged Congress to pass this program for the citizens of America. The White House strongly recommends that this program will be available for people.
The president’s focus on health care comes as his management faces condemnation over glitches that have overwhelmed the rollout of the new Medicare prescription drug advantage program.
Since January 1, 2006, many poor and elderly people have been experiencing many problems that have made it difficult for them to get their prescription costs lower, or at least to a reasonable price.
