Issue Position: Health Care

Issue Position

Since the Affordable Care Act was passed, health care costs have skyrocketed. Having insurance does not always mean people will get the care they need. We should not just treat the symptom that is coverage, without addressing the real disease, the cost of health care. Government helped create the current health care cost crisis, so throwing a lifeline to those individuals in Idaho who cannot afford insurance is something that all legislators should consider, but it needs to be right for Idaho.There needs to be a complete review of how health care is obtained in Idaho so we can look for access and cost reducing solutions.
