Past and present Senate candidates from Wyoming: on Health Care

Gary Trauner: Politicians have failed young people on healthcare

The national debt as well as student load debt are issues Trauner says concern young people he talks to. "That's a system where kids are coming out $30,000 in debt--that doesn't work."

In this campaign, Trauner has used social media to interact with supporters and non-supporters alike. He does a weekly Facebook Live event where he says every question is answered, even those that may be negative or unfavorable.

Gary Trauner: Allow importation of lower cost drugs

On Prescription Drugs--favors importation of lower cost drugs and allowing Medicare/Medicaid to negotiate drug costs.

Charlie Hardy: I am in favor of single-payer health insurance

A: Preventive health care is an essential investment in both our physical and financial health. To better meet these needs I am in favor of single-payer health insurance. I will also do everything in my power to protect Social Security and Medicare.

Charlie Hardy: Health care is an inalienable right

A: Hardy said no one should be worried about getting sick and that health care is an inalienable right. He would like to reform Medicare to include provision of eyeglasses, hearing aids and dentures at little cost to senior citizens.

Charlie Hardy: ObamaCare is a step in the right direction

Charlie Hardy: There are sick people unable to get medical attention

Liz Cheney: Can't salvage any of ObamaCare, but costs are out of control

CHENEY: Yes. We do need to recognize that health care costs are out of control. There is a need for tort reform, to purchase insurance across state lines, and to find ways to insure people with pre-existing conditions. I don't think we can salvage any of ObamaCare, and this disaster must be repealed. I would hope that even this president is having a wake-up call, realizing that the federal government cannot effectively run massive and complicated parts of our economy. Just look at this tax on medical devices. I have a 13-year-old daughter with diabetes that is reliant on a medical device. My father is alive today because of medical devices. Yet the Democrats want a tax that would create a disincentive for people to invent. This is fundamentally wrong.

Liz Cheney: Republicans who compromised on ObamaCare got used by Obama

CHENEY: Legislating is about knowing where to draw the line. Certainly, at some point, we all believe in compromise for the good of the nation. So, when the president or his allies say, "Hey, we're going to take over a sixth of the economy," Sen. Enzi's response was essentially to say, "OK, let's negotiate about that." The right response would have been: absolutely not. And, frankly, if all of the Republicans had done that at the beginning, had stood their ground and refused to compromise on this, we probably wouldn't be where we are today. Instead, you have Republicans like Sen. Enzi who gave the president the ability to say, "Hey, this is a bipartisan effort"--when, in fact, it wasn't. It was never intended to be. And they got used.
