Innovation, competition can address high cost of healthcare

The high cost of healthcare in Indiana is a glaring weakness when it comes to attracting new companies, new residents, and it puts a burden on hardworking Hoosiers and business owners. Solutions such as transparency, innovation, competition, and empowering consumers are not hard to figure out, but will take bold leadership to implement in the face of the powerful healthcare lobby.

Will never lockdown state or mandate masks for kids

The lockdowns during the Covid-19 pandemic were a disaster for our state and led to business closures, job losses, mental health issues, learning loss, and still failed to protect the most vulnerable. As Governor, Mike Braun will never lockdown our state, mandate masks for our kids, or tell someone their job or business is not essential, and he will always protect Hoosiers' right to medical freedom.

Common sense solutions can offset ObamaCare shortfalls

ObamaCare is a disaster for Hoosier families and businesses. Despite the promises of Washington politicians, premiums went up, families lost their doctors, and insurance options disappeared. Rather than a top-down, government-run healthcare system, Braun believes in common sense alternatives that will reduce costs and increase access to care. These include allowing individuals to purchase insurance across state lines and small businesses to pool together to purchase insurance at lower prices.
