Issue Position: Health Care

Issue Position

Our health care system is in need of reform, but the $1.2 trillion legislation the Democrats passed is not the reform needed. I will fight to repeal and replace this government takeover of 1/6 of our economy and the coverage mandates that I believe are unconstitutional. Every American should have access to quality care that is more affordable and accessible regardless of pre-existing conditions. This can be done largely by allowing Americans without employer-sponsored care to buy their own plan on the same tax-advantaged system employers enjoy, by pooling businesses and groups to lower costs, and without new taxes that kill jobs. H.R. 3218, which I co-sponsored, is among the Republican alternative plans that would help to achieve this goal.
