Healthcare

“If elected, I will sponsor and work diligently to pass legislation to:
• Refuse to implement Obamacare mandates.
• End all state mandates on individuals and businesses to buy medical insurance.
• End all coverage mandates and restrictions on health insurance that prevent companies from selling policies that customers want to buy; dismantle the office of the state Insurance Commissioner; and allow purchase of medical insurance plans across state lines. Existing policies will be honored until the free market is restored.
• Stop bailing out insurance companies by ending all risk corridors, risk pools, and other forms of bailouts.
• End all state regulations that restrict use, or that drive up the cost, of drugs, medical procedures, medical supplies and equipment, office visits, or laboratory tests. This includes restoring the right of medical providers to publicize their prices; replacing state-controlled medical licensing with free-market certification; and ending restrictions on self-care.
• End any restrictions or prohibitions on free clinics and other forms of charitable health care.
• Once the market has been freed, charitable services are available for the poor, and prices plummet, gradu ally end Medicaid and all other state health-care programs and subsidies, which will no longer be needed. Dramatically cut taxes by the amount saved.”

​Why we should replace Big Government Medicine with health freedom
  • Government regulations, red tape, mandates, and subsidies drive up the cost of medical care astronomically. Americans pay perhaps five to ten times more for medical care and medical insurance than necessary.
  • In a competitive marketplace free of government interference, health-care costs would plummet to a fraction of what Americans spend today.
  • Low-cost, efficient medical providers would emerge, such as “Stitches R Us” or “Surgeries R Us,” which would offer easily-affordable options for routine procedures.
  • Many people wouldn’t need or want insurance, because even catastrophic care would be affordable for them.
  • For others, catastrophic care insurance would cost a fraction of today’s premiums.
  • Out-of-pocket costs for office visits, drugs, lab tests, and procedures would be a fraction of what Americans pay today.
  • Low prices would enable phasing out of Medicaid, the biggest budget-buster in state spending. This would enable dramatic reductions in state taxes.
  • With greater competition, the quality, safety and convenience of health care services would surge.
  • Patients would be far better informed.
  • Patients would be in full control of their health care, with the option of delegating that control to whomever they choose.
  • Today, thousands of government bureaucrats and their assigns have access to Americans’ personal medical records.
  • In a free-market health system, patients would have full control over their medical privacy.
  • The quality of health care would rise dramatically, while the frequency of medical malpractice would diminish.
  • Better quality health care would result in less suffering, shorter waits for medical treatment, better outcomes, and longer, healthier lives.
  • Medical research would accelerate discovery of cures and treatments for human disease, resulting in longer lives and less suffering.
  • People suffering from disease, including the terminally ill, would be free to use experimental drugs, giving them every chance to live long and healthy lives.
  • Lobbyists representing medical insurance companies, pharmaceuticals, or medical cartels would have no business in state capitals. Instead, health-care delivery would be driven by the needs of patients who seek to maximize their health and by businesses and charities that fulfill those needs.
