In his latest piece for CNN, Rep. Jason Chaffetz says the health care reform debate is "about two competing visions for America's future. One vision holds that government can and should solve our problems, meet our basic needs and compel the wealthy to sustain the poor. The health care bill that passed in the House reflected that vision. In contrast, the conservative vision holds that wealth and prosperity come when productivity and self-interest are rewarded rather than punished, and that freedom is enhanced when government is as limited and as local as possible."
