2017 Alabama special Senate election: on Health Care


Luther Strange: Repeal the total failure of ObamaCare

ObamaCare is a total failure. Skyrocketing premiums and deductibles have made health care unaffordable and inaccessible. Luther Strange wants to repeal ObamaCare and replace it with patient-centered reform, leading to lowered premiums and increased access.

Roy Moore: Repeal Obamacare; allow competition

We do not need socialized medicine which will ultimately lead to loss of quality and affordability of heath care, as well as a loss of access to the latest medical technology. Obamacare should be completely repealed as soon as possible. Businesses should receive tax credits for employee health care coverage, and health insurance should be available between the states for competition and quality care.

Doug Jones: Fix, don't end, ObamaCare

Congress must continue to take a critical look at healthcare reform, but anything that gets my support must pass four tests:
  1. All Americans deserve the right to quality, affordable healthcare.
  2. No American should be unable to make ends meet from out-of-control medical bills.
  3. Pre-existing conditions should never be a reason to deny care or make care unaffordable.
  4. Preventative care should be a foundation of our health care system. It is inefficient and dangerous for Americans to rely on the emergency room to treat preventable illness.
