Bryan Steil on Health Care |
A: We need to lower the costs of health care. The Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, drove up the cost and made health care less affordable and thus less accessible to hardworking families here in Wisconsin. What we need to do is work toward a program of health care that puts individuals and doctors in charge of the decision-making process so that they can increase quality and lower the cost to health care.
I think that stands in stark contrast to my opponent who supports a government takeover of health care, and that's going to drive up the cost of health care. Individuals with pre-existing conditions need to be protected and need to be covered. I've been clear on that since day one. You can go in and address the disaster that is Obamacare, but still at the same time protect people with pre-existing conditions.
