Greg Lopez on Health Care

	Greg Lopez on Health Care

I believe in free-market health care

I believe in school choice, less regulation, protecting the 2nd Amendment, free-market health care, constitutionalist judges, less spending and smaller government through Tax Payers Bill of Rights--TABOR, enforcing our laws and protecting our boarders, "legal" immigration not "illegal immigration."

No face mask; responds "Do you wear a diaper?"

Lopez said he does not wear a face mask in Denver or anywhere else and if someone says something to him about it, he says, "Do you wear a diaper?" Source: Akron News-Reporter on 2022 Colorado gubernatorial race , Feb 10, 2021

Would take a hands-off approach to health care

He would take a hands-off approach to health care. Less government and more competition would lower prices faster than regulations that drove them up. Ultimately, society has to lower health risks to reduce costs on health care, not government squeezing the market, Lopez said. "Any time the government has gotten its hands on a program, I'm yet to see it do what they said it was going to do," he said.

VA is proof against government health-care system

Government has never been able to, and never will be able to, provide any type of true health-care system that will achieve what everyone wants to achieve, and we have a perfect example of that. The Veterans Administration is supposed to provide medical services and treatment at no cost to our veterans, and yet we see the challenges and the struggles the VA has. And they have full access to federal dollars to provide that service. It's just not working. Source: Westword.com blog on 2018 Colorado governor race , May 23, 2018
