Healthcare is a human right; insure the 33M uninsured
Healthcare is a human right. There are approximately 33 million people in this country that do not have access to health insurance. As a result, we have thousands of people dying each year because they can't afford health insurance, and thousands more
die each year because the health insurance they have is insufficient. Millions that do have adequate care are burdened with high premiums, deductibles, and prescription drug prices. The USA currently has the world's most expensive health care system,
yet we do not have the best healthcare outcomes. Dozens of other countries don't have thousands dying every year because they can't afford health insurance, and those same countries don't have people forgoing necessary medications because they cannot
afford them.
The Affordable Care Act was a good beginning, but it's just that, a beginning. Much more needs to be done to ensure that all people in this country have full access to healthcare.

ObamaCare is a good start, but goal is single payer
The Affordable Care Act [ObamaCare] was a good beginning, but it's just that, a beginning. Much more needs to be done to ensure that all people in this country have full access to healthcare. The best solution is to adopt a single payer system that has
proven to be successful in dozens of other countries. I am not opposed to expanding the current Affordable Care Act to cover more people.
I am also not opposed to finding new solutions to increase access, provide better quality care, and reduce costs. However, such solutions should not distract from the main goal of eventually adopting a single payer system by extending
Medicare coverage to all Americans. We must continue to fight until all people have access to healthcare.

Snow opposes the CC survey question on nationalized healthcare
The Christian Coalition Voter Guide inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Repealing the Nationalized Health Care System that Forces Citizens to Buy Insurance or Pay Fines'
The Christian Coalition notes, "You can help make sure that voters have the facts BEFORE they cast their votes. We have surveyed candidates in the most competitive congressional races on the issues that are important to conservatives."

Opposes keeping the Affordable Care Act.
Snow opposes the AFA survey question on ObamaCare
The American Family Association Action Voter Guide asked if candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Congress should repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).'
American Family Association Action (AFA Action) produces the online "iVoterGuide" for selected state and federal races. The mission of AFA Action is to inform and mobilize individuals to strengthen the biblical foundations of America.
