Issue Position: Healthcare

Issue Position

The most important issue in health care is the sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship. When government gets involved, prices increase and quality of care decreases. By interfering with the free market, government creates distortions that have led to more government intervention. Obamacare, or the so-called Affordable Care Act, is neither affordable nor caring -- it must be repealed and replaced. Instead of health care costs decreasing and access growing, we have seen the reverse: it is more expensive, less accessible, and less effective. Too many providers are now struggling to keep their doors open and Kansans are struggling to pay the higher cost of insurance. Dr. Marshall is committed to using his extensive medical background to repeal Obamacare and will fight to return health care to a system that is controlled by families, patients, and doctors - not Washington D.C.

"As a physician, I have seen firsthand the negative consequences of Barack Obama's health care efforts. The Affordable Care Act is the most egregious example of government interfering in the delivery of health care. This not only harms business, but directly interferes with the doctor-patient relationship. For health care delivery to thrive in America and rural Kansas, we must undo this mistake."-- Roger Marshall, M.D.
