Misam Abidi on Health Care

 

 


Support healthcare access, with major structural reform

Q: Your opinion on "Expand ObamaCare"?

A: Support access, with major structural reform. I support expanding access to affordable healthcare, but I am not committed to expanding bureaucracy simply because it carries the ObamaCare name. Tennessee should establish a reinsurance program that absorbs part of the cost of exceptionally expensive medical claims, reducing insurers' risk so premiums can fall while strong coverage is preserved. The goal is not loyalty to a federal program or an insurance company. The goal is comprehensive healthcare that ordinary people can afford, protection for preexisting conditions, stronger rural care, transparent pricing, meaningful competition, and assurance that no family will be financially destroyed because someone becomes sick.
