Issue Position: Healthcare

Issue Position

I strongly oppose repealing the Affordable Care Act; however, I do support any new reforms that reduce the cost of care, expand coverage, and improve patient protection. Where necessary, we should examine ways to ease some of the regulations on small business owners in these tough economic times and do more to encourage innovation by states seeking to improve on the President's legislation. In addition, by making sure that doctors and patients, not insurers, make weighty health care decisions, we can really put doctors and patients first in our healthcare system. Measures such as allowing Medicare to negotiate fair prescription drug prices for seniors will also help reduce the cost of care.
