Insurance

The European health insurance card provides proof of European citizens’ entitlement to health insurance. Today, more than 172 million citizens have the card in their pocket. It is free and facilitates access to medical treatment when travelling in another Member State, whether for a weekend trip, holidays, education, a training course or for business purposes.

Over the next eight weeks, Sens. David Vitter (R-La.), Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Mel Martinez (R-Fla.), Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), John Thune (R-S.D.), and Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) will be spreading the conservative message on health care. Through coordinated media education and speeches on the floor of the United States Senate, these senators will define the stark contrast between liberal government-controlled health care and the conservative vision that would allow Americans to own and control the health care plans for their families.

On April 3, 2008, at The Heritage Foundation, three of these senators outlined their health care reform plans and addressed why it is vital to stop a big government takeover of health care. Video of the entire event is available at:
