Oppose mandated employer-based coverage
Support employer efforts to modify delivery systems in conjunction with any finance modifications
Defend the rights of employers to choose the plans they offer
Support tort reform to reduce medical liability
Reduce cost-increasing mandates insurers are required to include in policies so that more affordable plans are available for employers
Increase personal participation in health care purchasing and the promotion of health savings plans
Expand tax incentives available for employers and individuals choosing to purchase policies or health savings plans
