Congressman John Shadegg
Congressman John Shadegg has been serving in the United States House of Representatives since 1994.
Congressman Shadegg is a recognized authority in Congress on health care issues. He has introduced several bills to address the problem of the uninsured, lessen the bureaucracy of Medicare, give patients the right to hold HMOs accountable and strengthen the doctor/patient relationship.
Congressman Shadegg has worked to promote greater choice, ownership, and portability in health insurance. His two bills – the Patients Health Care Reform Act and the Health Care Choice Act – offer comprehensive, free-market solutions to the rapidly rising cost of healthcare by allowing individuals to choose a health care plan that best meets their needs.
In our interview with Congressman Shadegg, we discuss his two healthcare bills and his view on the future of US healthcare given this year’s election dynamics. Congressman Shadegg joined CMPI at the National Press Club in June of this year to launch our new BigGovHealth.org initiative. We speak about the importance of this website with Congressman Shadegg and much more.
