Buy health insurance like we do our car insurance
Calling it "one of the greatest failures of the Obama administration," Housley criticized ObamaCare: "One-size-fits-all from Washington, D.C., didn't work," Housley said. "We have to create a better health care system that doesn't increase
costs and it needs to be done right away."Housley said the system in place in Minnesota prior to ObamaCare was imperfect, but far superior to its successor. "It needed some tweaks," said Housley. "But to turn it all on its head and
all the bureaucracy--then another layer of bureaucracy, when Dayton and Smith created MnSure, that $90 million failure on top of it, it dug into people's pocket books."
Instead, Housley said, the state of
Minnesota and the nation as a whole should look at moving back toward a free-market system--"Where you buy health insurance like we do our car insurance," she said--or implementing a employer-based health saving plans.

Examine and revamp failed health investigations
Sen. Housley is a strong advocate for seniors. During the hearing, she said "How long did the DOH know this was going on and cover it up? I have to say it's been disappointing to learn what's been happening for the last I don't know how many years."
The acting commissioner replied "We openly acknowledge that in recent years the Office of Health Facility Complaints really has not met the reasonable and appropriate expectations when it comes to investigating maltreatment complaints."
