Richard Behney is one we should be supporting, no one else.
John opposes the government takeover of the US health care system being considered in Congress. The people of the United States of America enjoy the best health care system in the world. In order to optimize the access to our current system, Congress should allow for more competition and work to reduce health care costs by:
- Building on the success of Health Savings Accounts by making 100% of health insurance premiums either deductible or a tax credit
- Creating Health Marts which allow individuals and families to negotiate, collectively, for health care services based on where they live
- Creating Association Health Plans which allow individuals and families to negotiate, collectively, for health care services based on an association defined by profession, religion, membership in an organization, etc.
- Allowing health insurance plans to be purchased across state lines
- Enacting tort reform that will result in lower health care costs because medical professionals will not be compelled to practice “defensive medicine” which they do now for no other reason than to defend themselves in a potential lawsuit
As Indiana’s next senator, John will oppose any expansion of the federal government into our health care system and work to repeal any such expansion that may happen this year as a result of the enactment of ObamaCare.
We certainly don’t want any wobbly RINOs. I will keep watching this.
