Congressional Candidate Proposes Healthcare Security Initiative
11:00am Tuesday, January 26, 2010
Angelo’s Luncheonette
Gilpin Avenue and N. Scott Streets
(1 block north of Delaware Avenue in Trolley Square)
Wilmington, DE
As the President prepares to deliver the State of the Union address this week, the state of providing healthcare coverage for small businesses, seniors, the unemployed and millions of other Americans is in critical condition with the uncertain future of congressional healthcare reform legislation due to the election of a Massachusetts Republican to the United States Senate last week.
Democratic Congressional Candidate Scott R. Spencer will announce a Healthcare Security Initiative to provide an innovative, clear path forward for Congress to provide healthcare coverage for Americans whose lack of healthcare coverage is causing them to suffer and die needlessly in the country with the best healthcare system in the world.
Spencer will announce the details of his Healthcare Security Initiative at Wilmington’s classic eatery, Angelo’s Luncheonette, which is struggling with healthcare insurance costs like many small businesses. Key elements of Spencer’s Healthcare Security Initiative include:
- Creation of a bi-partisan, independent Healthcare Security Commission
- The Healthcare Security Commission would draft healthcare insurance legislation for un-insured Americans for a straight-up or straight-down vote, with no amendments, by Congress no later than October 1, 2010
- The Healthcare Security Commission meetings will be open to the public and include public hearings around the country to consider all options on the table for healthcare security including extending federal employee insurance plans to the uninsured, tort reform and wellness incentives
- Until a Healthcare Security Plan is available for uninsured Americans, the President, Vice-President and Members of Congress should pay 100% of their federal employee health insurance premiums, effective March 1, 2010 as a matter of principle and to stand in solidarity with Americans who suffer the risks of no healthcare coverage everyday
“The option of doing nothing on healthcare legislation while our fellow Americans suffer and die without healthcare coverage is not the public option anyone can live with,” Spencer said. “America needs real results, right now on healthcare security so that the state of our Union’s healthcare will be strong and affordable for all Americans.”
The public and the press are invited to attend to comment and ask questions about the Healthcare Security Initiative that Spencer will detail at the 11am press conference. Those wishing to purchase menu items on their own should arrive at Angelo’s Luncheonette prior to the beginning of the press conference.
Democrat Scott Spencer is the first candidate in the nation to run on Organic Campaign Financing and has made a Term Commitment to serve no more than eight years if elected and reelected to the United States House of Representatives. Find out more at www.SpencerforthePeople.com
