Issue Position: Healthcare

Issue Position

The verdict is in -- Obamacare is a failure. It has failed Kansas Families and businesses. Due to Obamacare, options for health insurance have disappeared -- causing premium rates to skyrocket -- and families have lost access to the doctors they know and trust. I, like most republicans, oppose Obamacare and any expansion of it. Remember, Obamacare passed in 2010 with no/zero "yes" votes from republicans. Also remember the Nancy Pelosi comment: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." The government has no business being in the business of providing healthcare. Doing so only creates another taxpayer funded entitlement program and chips away at our individual freedoms. I support common sense, free-market solutions that will reduce costs and increase access to care -- such as 2019, HB2209 and seriously consider legislation such as 2020, SB281 & 2020, HB2522.
