Issue Position: Healthcare Reform

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012
Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income Entitlements and the Safety Net Health Insurance

I oppose Obama-care, which increases premiums and will lead to rationed healthcare. It must be repealed and replaced with true healthcare reform.

* True healthcare reform will lower premiums by increasing private insurance competition across state lines, along with litigation and tort reform.
* We must make health insurance portable allowing employees to keep the same health insurance, even though they change employers.
* Tax credits or vouchers should be provided for families that are hurting economically, allowing them to purchase their own healthcare policies. According to the House Caucus, taxpayers would save $150 million by privatizing Minnesota Care.
