Jim Bender on Health Care

Repeal ObamaCare; it limits choices by consumers

I would go to Washington to work to repeal the recently enacted health care law, as it will only make health care more expensive and limit choices by consumers. The private market system should be strengthened with policies to drive down costs and make insurance more affordable. The current problems are mostly a case of government interference disrupting the health care marketplace, introducing new costs and inefficiencies, and then deciding the solution is more government.
