Congressman Chris Cannon predicts Health Savings Accounts will revolutionize Healthcare
U.S. Rep. Chris Cannon said his priorities for a hopeful sixth term involve the same issues as when he first claimed Utah's 3rd District seat in 1997: health care, school trust lands and telecommunications.
Noting his past role in establishing health savings accounts, Cannon expects the near future will present Congress with revolutionary issues in the healthcare industry.
"This year is truly going to be a transformation in medicine," he said last Thursday at his campaign kickoff luncheon in Provo. "It's going to change the way you deal with your doctor."
He is working on legislation to encourage the sharing of medical technology and breakthroughs to help save more lives, and he also has supported appropriations for medical research. Cannon, who lost a daughter to a rare cancer, also is a member of the House cancer caucus.
Another pet cause is telecommunications. He favors legislation that will spur Internet growth and increase access, as well as keep e-commerce free to consumers.
We applaud the work congressman Cannon is doing with Health Savings Accounts. Hopefully his sixth term will help create even more advantages for Health Savings Account holders.
