Issue Position: Reducing the Cost of Health Care

Issue Position

Health care is too expensive. Most of it is out of our control because of Federal mandates, but there are significant steps that we could take to reduce the cost of health care. Reducing frivolous lawsuits would be a big first step and we can make it happen, here in Utah, resulting in more money in your pocket. Families should not have to declare bankruptcy because of an injury or disease. Addressing the cost side of this issue, rather than the coverage side, is the responsible and effective approach. It would result in increasing coverage by bringing lower income families more affordable coverage through free-market principles such as tort reform.
