From Petri's Website:
The cost of health care and insurance has continued to grow significantly year after year. Many Americans are struggling to keep up, while others are simply unable to afford coverage, adding to the already large numbers of those without health insurance. Rep. Petri has heard from many constituents about these issues, and he certainly agrees that they demand our attention. Rep. Petri is not convinced that there is any magic bullet solution that will make health insurance more affordable, but he has supported a number of initiatives that together will help reduce the costs of health care and reduce the number of uninsured.
Rep. Petri has cosponsored various bills aimed at creating greater competition in the insurance market which will help lower costs for many families and small businesses in Wisconsin. He has opposed efforts to add mandates to insurance coverage that tend to drive up costs and make it impossible for insurers to offer basic health insurance.
