Issue Position: Healthcare

Issue Position

Government accelerated its intrusion into health care when Congress passed the HMO Act of 1973. This act contributed to the distortion of the market, resulting in higher costs, less coverage and more bureaucracy. Socialist medicine does not work, yet the President and the Democrat controlled congress responded with more government intrusion and bureaucracy by passing Obama-care, despite the many concerns of the people they supposedly represent.

Therefore I support:

-- Repealing Obama-care

-- Making all medical expenses tax deductible

-- Allowing individuals to purchase insurance across state lines

-- Returning control of health policies to the state

-- Punishing health care fraud

-- Reforming medical malpractice lawsuits

-- Adopting a sensible program to cover those with pre-existing conditions
