AZ Health Care press conference draws media to GCJPR Office

January 13th, 2010 posted by Matthew Dutile

On Tuesday, January 5, news cameras and media personnel packed the GCJPR office to hear Steve Forbes, Congressman John Shadegg and Dr. Eric Novack speak about their new ballot initiative that would allow Arizonans a choice of care under new federal health care.
The ballot initiative, the Arizona Health Care Freedom Act, advocates that each Arizonan should have the right to choose their own insurance, not one approved by the government.
“Arizona Health Dare Freedom Act is not about doctors, it’s not about members of Congress, it’s about all of us Americans. And it’s about the rights of individuals to be in charge of their own health and health care,” said Dr. Novack.
“This amendment is critical not only for Arizona, but indeed for the nation,” said Forbes. “This is the center. If Arizona gets it right health care can survive and thrive in America again.”
“What’s wrong with the current structure of [the federal health care] bill, is that it is going to point a gun at every one of your heads and say, ‘you must buy insurance,’” said Congressman Shadegg. “But here’s the real rub, it’s not that you must buy insurance that you like, it’s that you must buy insurance that the government approves.”
