Joe Miller on Health Care |
Miller: Strongly Disagree
Question topic: The Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) should be repealed by Congress.
Miller: Strongly Agree
Two notable exceptions are former South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds (R) and Alaska Lieutenant Gov. Mead Treadwell (R), who have not fully embraced the efforts. Treadwell, who is facing Miller, said he supports "any attempt to defund and repeal ObamaCare" but that "shutting down the government is not a good idea."
"Democrats need to come to the table," Treadwell said in a statement to The Hill. "While we should try to repeal ObamaCare now, the best chance of repeal is when Republicans take control of the Senate and voters replace Senators like Mark Begich [D-Alaska] that originally voted for ObamaCare."
Second, even if ObamaCare were Constitutional, its benefit is built upon a crumbling foundation, and it will do nothing to control costs. This legislation adds millions of new beneficiaries to the already broken Medicaid program. ObamaCare will not work and will likely make our medical system worse.
