On Health Care: Abolish Medicaid; charity not allowed by the Constitution

Elder has advocated abolishing Medicaid and has opposed making health insurance companies cover people with preexisting conditions. Elder put forward his views in 2010 when he outlined his vision for a new "contract with America."

"Grandfather everyone currently on Medicaid, and then admit no more people and end the program at the federal level," he wrote. "Charity is not allowed by the Constitution, and it should be left to the states--even better, left to the private and nonprofit sectors."
