Issue Position: Health Care

Issue Position

Healthcare
Our healthcare challenge is one of the most complex issues facing America today. Reasonable people could disagree on the "right" direction our healthcare policy should take. But one thing is for sure, very few people believe our current path is sustainable. In other words: something has to change.

Regardless of the direction the change will be transformative from the current status quo. The question then becomes do we move towards Order or towards Equality. Do we ration care based on time or money. Do we make health care a right or keep it a privilege. These are tough questions, and with the cost of healthcare rising as fast as it is, and pricing people out of a market that they can't afford to be out of, we don't have time to waste.

Both the Democrats and Republicans have used distortions and scare tactics to prevent healthcare policy changes. As a result many citizens have become confused and fearful that any change to the system would mean a lose of benefits. I don't have a good answer for right now on which direction America should go. But I promise I will keep listening to voters and professionals and ensure for every good argument one side makes I'll seek out the counter argument form the other side. In the end, if you send me to D.C. your not getting a leader who will be a rigid ideologue, you'll be getting a leader who will be practical and always consider the second and third order effects of policy changes.
