Alex Merced on Health Care

	Alex Merced on Health Care

Most of ObamaCare moves in the wrong direction

Q: Do you support or oppose "Expand ObamaCare"?

A: The problem with healthcare isn't access to insurance but the growing costs of the underlying healthcare. I want a more consumer oriented healthcare market. While some aspects of ObamaCare attempt to move in this direction the most of it moves in the wrong direction. I recommend people read the book the "Primal Prescription" to truly understand our healthcare issues.

Supports Congressionally repealing Affordable Care Act.

Merced supports the AFA survey question on ObamaCare

The American Family Association Action Voter Guide asked if candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Congress should repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).' American Family Association Action (AFA Action) produces the online "iVoterGuide" for selected state and federal races. The mission of AFA Action is to inform and mobilize individuals to strengthen the biblical foundations of America.
