Issue Position: Health Care - Repeal, Replace, Replenish

Issue Position

In her first five months in Congress, Kyrsten Sinema has already TWICE voted to fund and implement Obamacare, the signature, self-named health care leviathan which will ultimately serve as Barack Obama's legislative legacy. If I were in Congress now, I would have twice voted to repeal and defund this bill.

The simple fact is that Obamacare increases health care premiums on Arizona families, the exact opposite of its intended goal. It raises taxes on employers, which will ultimately cost Arizona jobs. And it included more than $700 billion in cuts to Medicare, which will deliver added woes to Arizona seniors already struggling to balance limited incomes with increasing medical costs.

In addition, Obamacare will likely cripple our existing health care system. These huge cuts to Medicaid are causing more doctors and more hospitals to limit or stop taking Medicaid patients altogether. Despite this, the president's plan which Kyrsten Sinema has now voted twice to inflict on Arizona, will force millions of Americans to enroll in Medicaid.

In Congress, I will work to repeal and defund Obamacare, and will join my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to replace it with a common-sense alternative that increases access, reduces costs for all Americans, protects seniors, incentivizes innovation and the reduction of fraud and waste, and makes our nation's health system more efficient.

The American people deserve a health care system that promotes actual health, not one that places the IRS in charge of health policy mandates. For our seniors, children, and all Arizona families, we have a moral obligation to rise to this challenge.
