Health Care

A one-size-fits-all, government-run health care system is not the answer for Indiana. I believe we need to repeal the President’s health care law and replace it with common-sense solutions that increase access to quality care without increasing costs. The primary goal for reforming our nation’s health care system should be to reduce the skyrocketing costs of health care costs. Unfortunately, the health care law misses the mark. We should instead pursue initiatives to drive down costs by increasing competition and transparency, reforming medical malpractice, making health insurance portable, promoting pooling options for small businesses, and giving states greater flexibility in delivering health services. I believe a health care system built upon free market principles will produce quality health care at a lower cost to Hoosiers. Americans deserve a health care system that puts individuals back in charge of their health care, rather than a government-run plan that puts bureaucrats between doctors and patients.
