Issue Position: Health Care Reform

Issue Position

The old system simply wasn't working, where if you got sick you could get kicked off your insurance, and the Affordable Care Act achieved some important and tangible goals. However, it is clear that the law needs improvements so that it does not place unnecessary burdens American families and businesses that are still struggling as our economy recovers. I have supported several measures to address concerns with the role out of the health care law, including repealing the medical device tax, delaying the business and individual mandates, and making sure that the promise is kept that if you like your plan you can keep it. This law is a big change and the bottom line is we have got to get this right. But I will not support going back to a time when persons with pre-existing conditions couldn't get covered or reopening the donut hole for seniors.
