ObamaCare is ill-conceived takeover of healthcare

• ObamaCare fails to utilize time-tested, market-driven principles to reduce the cost of healthcare spending and has actually resulted in most Hoosiers paying more for health care coverage
• Employers are forced to choose between their deeply-held personal beliefs and obeying the law when providing health coverage
• The changes to the healthcare system effectively inserts the government into the doctor-patient relationship

Supports repealing the 2010 affordable care act.

The Project Vote Smart Voter Guide inferred how candidates would respond to the question, 'Health Care: Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")?' Project Vote Smart notes, "in response to the increasing unwillingness of candidates to answer issue questions, Project Vote Smart has researched Congressional candidates' public records to determine candidates' likely responses on certain key issues. These issue positions, from the year 2016, are provided [for candidates who] refused to provide voters with positions on key issues covered by the 2016 Political Courage Test, despite repeated requests. Historically, candidates have failed to complete our test due to the advice they receive from their parties and advisors and out of fear of negative attack ads."
