This is the third in a series of brief position statements by Ann Wofford, candidate for U.S. Representative for the 3rd Congressional District, addressing concerns of area citizens.
Health Care
One of the failures of this administration and Congress has been the Affordable Care Act. It resulted in higher rates, higher co-pays and fewer choices. You really couldn’t keep your doctor, as promised. An irresponsible Congress voted for it without knowing or caring how it would work. It needs to be repealed and replaced with plans that can be sold across state lines, increasing competition and therefore, reducing costs. By electing new, more thoughtful and diligent public officials, better plans can be developed and freedom in health care choices can be secured.
