Issue Position: Reducing Health Care Costs

Issue Position

By: Buddy Carter

Date: Jan. 1, 2020

Issues: Health and Health Care

Forcing Americans to buy coverage they do not want or cannot afford is not the way to reduce health care costs. We need to return to a system where insurers and providers compete for patients and restore choice. Government bureaucrats and pencil pushers do not belong in the doctor-patient relationship.
