Rudy GiulianiRudy Giuliani makes pitch for personal health insurance and accounts makes pitch for personal health insurance and accounts

Republican Rudy Giuliani is promoting his health care plan in central Iowa.

The presidential candidate spoke today to about 120 people in Fort Dodge. He says his plan would cut by half the nation’s health care costs and let people personalize health insurance policies to meet their needs.

Giuliani says that for his plan to work, he needs more than 60 million Americans to buy their own health insurance and open personal health savings accounts.

Giuliani says he would push for a $15,000 personal income tax exemption to let families buy their own policies. Families could keep whatever amount is left over to open a personal health account.
