Issue Position: Healthcare Reform

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2016
Issues: Health Insurance Health and Health Care Economy and Fiscal Government Budget and Spending

Adding 400,000 people to Kentucky's Medicaid program is not a path to health care reform, but it is a path to a dramatic increase in health care insurance premiums for Kentucky's working families as well as a path to pushing our state even closer to an impending financial crisis.

There is presently enough money within our country's health care delivery system to provide affordable, quality health care to every man, woman and child in our country if those dollars are spent in the correct manner.

Obamacare added millions of people to an ailing health care system which is already reeling from inadequate payments to health care providers and which is being crushed by needless, mindless government regulations. As your Senator, using my almost 40 years of health care experience, I will work for complete repeal of Obamacare and institute real reform to the health care delivery system in Kentcuky. We can make health care affordable for all Kentuckians!
