Dear Congress:

We, the undersigned patients, physicians, and business owners ask that you:

1.  Repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
2.  Replace it with a series of patient-centered, fiscally responsible stepwise reforms that include:

◊	Use savings from Medicaid State Block Grants to pay for the devastating SGR cuts planned for Medicare.
◊	Let individuals purchase insurance with pre-tax dollars.
◊	Encourage Health Savings Accounts.
◊	Let businesses purchase insurance across state lines.
◊	Let small businesses create pools to spread risk.
◊	Encourage states to end abusive medical litigation.
◊	Use savings from these reforms to fund premium assistance programs.

3.  Pass each reform separately, one bill every few months.
4.  Make each bill understandable and keep it to a reasonable length.
5.  Keep each bill clean, letting it pass or fail on its merits. No pork. No payoffs.
6.  Make the final language public for 7 days prior to voting.

Patient-Centered, Fiscally Responsible Healthcare Reform
