Healthcare

Our nation’s healthcare system leads the world in standards of quality care and advanced treatment. Reforms are needed to sustain this status and halt rapidly rising healthcare costs, however, including market-based reforms to ensure that the American people, rather than government bureaucrats, make decisions about their health. Lawsuit abuse reform must also implemented, along with free market strategies to make health insurance more affordable for American families.

As Medicare and Medicaid teeter dangerously toward insolvency, we must also enact reforms to ensure we keep our promises to seniors and care for the poor. I examined various strategies for doing this during my first year in office and will remain active on this front.
