Bill O`Brien on Health Care

 

 


ACA like Fugitive Slave Act: destructive of liberty

Former New Hampshire House Speaker O'Brien once compared the ACA to the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act in 2013, arguing it was equally destructive to individual liberty. More recently, he has pointed to spiking premiums for those on the individual markets--the pools set up under the ACA for those without access to employer-provided insurance.

Protect people with pre-existing conditions, lower costs

Healthcare costs and prescription drug costs continue to be a problem in this country even after the passage and implementation of the Affordable Care Act, known by many as ObamaCare. Those forced into this system lost their private health insurance, insurance politicians had promised people they could keep. I will fight to protect people with pre-existing conditions while at the same time working for reforms to actually help lower the cost and improve healthcare.

Opposes Medicare for All

Social Security and Medicare is a promise our nation made to our Seniors. I won't let that promise be destroyed or forgotten. I will stand up to protect Social Security and Medicare. I won't let politicians like Bernie Sanders and Jeanne Shaheen destroy the current Medicare system so many Seniors are depending by replacing it with a "Medicare-for-All" system.
