Giuliani's health care plan:

• Would expand tax code reform, allowing individuals without employer-based insurance to have the same tax benefits as individuals who have employer-based insurance.
• Provides a Health Insurance Credit for low-income families that can be used in addition to Medicaid and employer contributions.
• Expands competativeness by creating a visibility of prices in the health care system

Giuliani's health care plan would improve health care coverage by:

• Reforming the medical liability system by ending frivolous lawsuits that hinder the compensation for real economic loss.
• Offering grants to states in order to encourage health care innovation and reduce costs on a more local basis.
• Allow citizens to choose coverage on an interstate basis if the coverage provided by the state of residence is too high.

Giuliani's health care plan would revise the FDA process of allowing drugs onto the market -- a process he feels takes too long and needlessly costs lives.
