Russ Fulcher on Health Care |
A: Disagree
Russ Fulcher: Choice, competition, transparency, and a lack of government mandates will result in lower costs and better care. Solutions include "patient-centric alternatives" based on free market principles like charity care, direct primary care, medi-share, medical memberships, disease management, wellness programs, and alternative treatment strategies. Out of pocket expenses can be reduced by incentivizing Health Savings Accounts, expanding the tax cuts to families and making the current cuts permanent.
Project Vote Smart inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Health Care: Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")?' PVS self-description: "The Political Courage Test provides voters with positions on key issues. Historically, candidates have failed to complete our test due to the advice they receive from their advisors and out of fear of negative attack ads."
