Issue Position: On Health Care

Issue Position

The Affordable Care Act has provided nearly 50,000 New Hampshire residents with health insurance they would otherwise be unable to afford. Also, due to the ACA, we now have options with regards to insurance providers. There are at least 4 in the state, with more likely to arrive soon. I support continuing the ACA and working to improve, not dismantling it down.

I believe that individuals are in charge of their own health care and free to make whatever decisions that are right for that person. I believe that government's role is to provide access to care but not to participate in any decisions that any person needs to make. Those kinds of decisions should remain with the individual, that person's doctor, and family members of the individual's choice. The government does not have a seat at that table. Specifically with regards to women, I believe that women are in charge of their reproductive health and should be free to make decisions that are right for them and their families.
