You're left standing out in the cold because the cost of health care is prohibitively expensive. If an employer doesn't cover your care, it's simply too expensive to buy a plan on the open market. And if you are covered, you lack the choice and control you need and deserve.
The system must change...beginning with affordable health insurance for every hardworking American who wants to own a plan. That's why I'm committed to passing [Small-Business] Health Plans.
