Steve Beshear on Health Care

Support managed competition & healthcare tax incentives

Beshear supports the following principles concerning health care:
• Support a "managed competition" health care plan to contain costs and improve access that does not include mandated health alliances, government cost control powers, or employer/employee mandates.
• Provide tax incentives for small businesses to help provide health care to their employees.
• Allow middle and low income families to deduct yearly health care costs from their taxable income.
