Giuliani to Roll Out Health Care Plan
Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani is unveiling his health-care plan during a campaign swing in New Hampshire, proposing to expand access nationwide while steering clear of plans he has criticized as "socialized medicine.” His campaign declined to give specifics of his plan on Sunday, the day before his arrival in New Hampshire. But he earlier said a promise to "give Americans more control over and access to health care” was one of the "12 commitments” that form the basis of his presidential bid. In June, he said his plan would include a major tax deduction, health savings accounts, vouchers, and Medicaid reform, the New York Sun reported. But the plan would not include a mandate for coverage, which Democratic candidate John Edwards has called for. Giuliani has said a mandate would "lead to government-controlled health insurance.”
Story Continues Below The former New York City mayor plans six campaign stops in New Hampshire, where he trails GOP opponent Mitt Romney by a 33 percent to 18 percent margin in a recent poll. Romney has spent a considerable sum on television ads in the state, while Giuliani has not yet run a TV ad. Giuliani still leads Romney in most national polls.
