President Obama’s health care plan taxes too much, spends too much, is bad for our health care, and is unconstitutional. Tim Scott will fight against government takeover of health care.
Despite our problems, the U.S. healthcare system is the envy of the world. People come from all over the world to be trained in our medical schools, to be treated in our hospitals, and to benefit from our pharmaceutical products and medical devices. Let’s not lose what is good about our health care system.
Tim believes in targeted, common sense reforms that will make health care more affordable, reduce the number of uninsured Americans, and increase the quality of care at a price our country can afford. Medical decisions should be made by patients and their providers, not by Washington bureaucrats. Tim will fight to prevent insurance companies from interfering with the physician-patient relationship, eliminate unnecessary hassles and unfair payment practices, and fight for reimbursement decisions that are based on patient care, not on economics.
Tim will work to reform the medical tort system, through a cap on non-economic damages and by supporting physician efforts to develop evidence-based safe harbors, peer-reviewed health courts, and administrative reforms.
Tim will ensure that our seniors get the care they deserve, by working to enact Medicare reform which would provide adequate physician funding, eliminate unfunded mandates to the states, and reduce costly and counterproductive administrative burdens.
Tim believes that we can improve Americans’ lives through effective prevention, wellness, and disease management programs, while developing new treatments and cures for life-threatening diseases.
