Issue Position: Health Care

Issue Position

Instead of government-run health care, our country needs a common sense approach that empowers people and gives them more choice in choosing their own health insurance and health care providers. The President's health care law promised to lower costs and increase the availability of quality health insurance to Americans, but has failed to accomplish these goals. To truly reform health care we need to:

*Enact tort reform legislation
*Create competition among insurance companies by allowing them to offer plans across state lines.
*Crack down on Medicaid and Medicare fraud that costs taxpayers billions of dollars per year.
*Promote meaningful prevention and wellness.
*Increase transparency of medical pricing to allow consumers to make informed decisions.
