Health Care
Health Care In 2010, Congress passed and the President signed into law, a health care plan that I believe is unconstitutional. It creates a government-run health care system that will further bankrupt America while threatening the coverage of those already insured. One of my first votes in the 112th Congress was to repeal the Health Care Law. By repealing this law, we will have the opportunity to focus on the challenging issues facing our health care system while implementing market based solutions. Government run health care is not the answer: addressing issues like improved access and increased quality of care is. Repealing the existing health care law will provide Congress the ability to address our health care challenges without creating massive new entitlement programs. The current health care law is generating thousands of pages of excessive new regulations, and over $500 billion in tax increases that will further cripple small businesses and our struggling economy. According to the House Committee on Ways and Means, it is estimated that approximately 70 percent of employer-provided health care policies could lose their coverage and be forced into a government system. As a business owner, I know firsthand the challenges we face due to ever-increasing health care premiums. We must replace this current law with responsible health care reform using market based solutions that include: creating a uniform tax credit that individuals can use to select their own personal health insurance plan, ensuring choices for Americans with pre-existing conditions by creating high risk pools, and enacting common sense tort reform.
