Issue Position: Healthcare

Issue Position

The Afforable Care Act isn't so "affordable" after all is it! The Obama administration sold of a bill of goods that all Americans will be able to keep their doctor, keep their health insurance if they like it, add more jobs to our nation, and reduce individual health insurance costs. I didn't believe it when the law was passed, and as we know now, the administration sold us a bunch of untruths. You can't keep your doctor, can't keep your insurance, costs and deductibles skyrocketed and they are projecting 2.2 million job losses. That is why I felt we should not accept the Federal money for our health care, not only because of the untruths, but because the Federal Government has NO money! We can't count on them to pay, and sooner or later Wisconsinites will have to take on that burden. I do believe that everyone should be able to afford decent healthcare but I did not support the Obama Affordable Care Act when passed and I do not support it now. I believe that each individual's health care is personal and private and that the Government has no Constitutional right to mandate, that for the first time in American history, that American's buy health insurance or face taxation for not doing so. Wisconsin has had a very good healthcare system, and our health care is ranked at the top in the nation.
