Real Health Care Reform
“I firmly believe that all Americans deserve quality health care coverage; but to be clear, I am opposed to the health care legislation passed in Congress and signed by President Obama. I know that this Bill will raise taxes, increase government spending and lower the quality of care we receive, especially for our senior citizens.
The legislation signed by the President is a dangerous step toward socialism and one that does not reflect the real reform that is desperately needed in our health care system. A primary reason why our health care costs are so high in this state and will be even higher if the Federal proposal passes, is that it mandates that certain types of coverage be included in every policy. The new health program would do nothing to reduce or eliminate these mandates; and furthermore it does not allow for real consumer choice of insurance products as such policies must meet government approved requirements. Government has also failed to reform the opportunity to purchase health insurance across state lines, reduce administrative burdens on health care providers, and has made no attempt to reform our medical and tort liability system.
The real lesson from the 2006 Massachusetts “universal” mandated coverage law is that without real (as opposed to political) reform, costs will continue to increase, which is likely to lead to tax increases followed by price controls and bureaucratic rationing.”
IMMIGRATION
“First and foremost, we need to SECURE THE BORDERS! We need to secure the borders not only with the use of “virtual technologyâ€, but with a genuine commitment to build a physical fence along the southern border. The use of technology should also play an important role in detection and apprehension.
I will fight all efforts to reward illegal behavior with any form of amnesty. Simply stated, amnesty policies are bad public policy and send the message that immigrants are better off breaking our laws rather than respecting them. ”
