Issue Position: Healthcare

Issue Position

Access to truly affordable healthcare is integral to the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Collusion between drug companies, insurance companies and for-profit medical providers takes advantage of our suffering. A for-profit industry incentivizes sick-care, not healthcare.

Our health care system should be preventative not reactive.

Routine doctor's visits and necessary tests and procedures should not be cost-prohibitive to anyone.

Removing the burden of providing healthcare from employers would encourage job creation.

"When legislatures will boldly repudiate their constituents and violate the pledges of their platforms, then indeed have the servants become the masters, and the people ceased to be sovereign; -- gone the government of equal rights and equal responsibilities, lost the jewel of constitutional liberty." -- Robert M. La Follette
