Health Care

As a business owner, I provide health insurance to my employees and have seen first-hand how costs have escalated in recent years.  Reforming our health care system must be undertaken responsibly and without government intervention. Above all, there is no authority in the Constitution for a nationalized health care system. Forming another unfunded entitlement program, similar to Medicare or Social Security, is not only unconstitutional, but it is irresponsible and will only lead our country deeper into debt.

• Reforming the system must focus on free-market solutions. This includes increasing competition among insurance companies to lower costs, adding additional physicians to guarantee access to care and fixing our nation’s broken medical malpractice system by eliminating frivolous lawsuits.
• I am against health care reform proposals that overstep constitutional and government authority. These proposals also increase the deficit, divert money from senior citizens and Medicare, and increase taxes for middle class families.
