Romney on Health Care

Check out Gov. Mitt Romney's plan to provide more affordable health care, which includes pro-business  ideas like deregulating the industry, expanding tax-free health savings accounts encouraging competition.

"Health care leaders in Florida and across the nation understand the critical need to make health insurance more available and more affordable for all Americans," Romney said.  "The answer is not more government, but more innovation.  We must harness the power of free market reforms to provide private insurance options to our citizens without a tax increase and without a big government takeover."
