Looking Back- The Ron Wyden Free Choice Amendment in Sept. 2009 to introduce choice and competition in health care

09/17/2009

Wyden's emphasis on choice for all Americans in health care and introducing competition in health care services to pull back runaway medical costs was a critical piece of health care reform that did not find its way into the final health care bill. In the American system quality and cost is achieved through competition. Leaving this out in the final health care bill and the law that was passed means leaving out its vital element without which runaway costs are not checked. The Wyden-Ryan proposal on health care in December 2011 also emphasized this vital element of choice and competition as critical to controlling costs.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
