Issue Position: Helping Us Keep More of Our Own Money: Attack High Healthcare Costs

The President's health care law -- ObamaCare -- has proven to be a big problem for Nebraska. The health reform has caused skyrocketing individual premiums and deductibles. These increased costs crowd out other purchases or savings, and cause too many to go without insurance or, if they have insurance, to forgo care.

In addition, small businesses across the state continue to report that the new costs, and regulatory burdens, are impeding growth.

While the U.S. Congress works to replace ObamaCare, Nebraska legislators can do much to help encourage innovation in the marketplace for medical services. I support efforts to lower the cost of care and help increase access to needed medical services to provide real relief for Nebraska families.
