President Bush's vision for a healthy America: a record and a plan

During his first term in office, President Bush has been committed to improving the health of all Americans through a series of new programs and an increased level of funding for services to vulnerable populations. Recognizing the need for reform of the health care financing system, the President has put forward a comprehensive proposal that preserves the strengths of the U.S. systems while addressing its weaknesses. It is a system built on choice and incentives, not on government mandates and fiat.
