Issue Position: Health Care

Issue Position

Republicans believe that choosing Health Care should be an individual's responsibility, not a government mandate. Health care costs in this country are astronomical. We must encourage healthier life styles and reward personal responsibility to promote healthier lifestyles. We must try to increase healthcare options, contain costs and reduce mandates, simplify the system for patients and providers, and have fairness in the tax treatment of group and individual health insurance plans. This is a practical, non-intrusive approach to health care reform. For most Americans, this will promote a free-market based system and empower consumer choice.
