Issue Position: Free Market Economics

Issue Position

Obamacare or as it is ironically titled "Affordable Healthcare Act" is the most egregious example of the destruction of the free market and its negative impact upon our lives. Like most people I know, my health care has jumped in cost 50% since the beginning of the year and will go up another 25% next year. This behavior by our political leaders is constantly repeated over and over again with the good intentions of trying to help us, only to cause us more harm, poor service and inflated cost. Government does not and can not perform better than the private sector when individuals have the ability to shop un-obstructed for goods and services in the free market driven by investment, service performance and profitability. Regardless of whether it is done by the federal or state government, the principle is universal.
