Health Care
Americans deserve a health care system that provides universal—and universally affordable—coverage for today’s Americans, and a fiscally sustainable system for the generations to come. All Americans should have the freedom to choose among a wide variety of plans that suit their needs. Taxpayer-funded subsidies should be reserved for the poor, the sick and the vulnerable—not the wealthy. Enabling competition and curtailing the power of health care monopolies will lower patients’ costs and increase innovation in patient care.
