Senator Voinovich promotes his Health Partnership Act

Senator George Voinovich released a new article on health care today.  In his article, "Healing our health care crisis," Senator Voinovich reaffirms his commitment to his Health Partnership Act (Source: Voinovich Views, April 18, 2008).

In his article Senator Voinovich states, "My legislation would allow state and local governments the freedom to explore health care reform options through a federal grant system – much like we did in successfully reforming welfare. The grants would support state-based efforts to reduce the uninsured and the cost of health care, improve quality and access to care and expand information technology. In other words, it would let states experiment with proposals currently bottled up in Congress and reward them when they achieve results.  I want to do this because I know that solutions often come far way from Washington, D.C."
