Issue Position: Healthcare

Issue Position

I believe American has the finest heath care system in the world. Is it perfect, no. Does it need some changes, yes? Does the Federal Government have the right to tell the american people that they must purchase health insurance or face a penalty? No way! I did not support the implementation of Obamacare in Idaho. I feel very strongly that Idaho should tell the Federal Government to stay out of our private lives and our healthcare decisions. There are some folks who thought that the only path forward for Idaho was to comply with Obamacare. While in the Idaho Legislature I have fought to keep Obamacare from being implemented in Idaho by supporting the Idaho Healthcare Freedom Act, and the nullification of federal law with respect to healthcare. This past year I supported the repeal of the Health Insurance Exchange. I believe over the next several years it is going to be important that we have the right leaders in place to continue the fight against Obamacare. This is a fight we must win.
