It is time to pass the Healthcare Independence Act of 2010. Healthcare reform can unleash a wave of entrepreneurism by giving Americans the freedom to act. It takes an act of faith to leave a steady job or sidestep the job market to pursue the dream of a successful startup business. But fear of losing medical coverage or not having access to it strikes a blow against the entrepreneurial spirit every day.
Healthcare reform can free Americans and unleash a wave of entrepreneurism by throwing out discrimination against patients with pre-existing medical conditions, making real health insurance available to all American citizens, and making healthcare portable.
It is time to call it what it is: "The Healthcare Independence Act of 2010". This is the economic stimulus and pro-small business policy that we need today and for our future.
