Ed Cox on Health Care

Rhetoric of big government doesn't solve healthcare problems

New Yorkers continue to be burdened with some of the highest healthcare costs in the nation. One way to keep costs down is to ensure we aggressively prosecute Medicaid fraud. The tired old rhetoric of big government will not solve this problem. We don't need a one-size fits all government healthcare system. We do need new ideas. New York needs someone who will fight for innovative, market-based solutions to address the healthcare crisis in our state and in our nation.
