Issue Position: Health Care

Issue Position

Obamacare is a disaster for our health care system. Long-term it will result only in higher premium costs, fewer doctors and inevitable rationing and lower quality care for everyone. Over a million Californians have lost their insurance coverage because of this disastrous law. Seniors on Medicare are already paying more for health services because Obamacare took money away from the successful Medicare system. People will be subject to the whims of the government controlled system instead of being able to individually manage their own health care needs. By restoring the doctor-patient relationship, increasing local medical clinics, and allowing insurance companies to compete across state lines we can increase the access and quality of health care for all people. I believe we also need strong tort reform and a requirement that those with pre-existing conditions cannot be denied coverage.
