Libertarian candidate for President; Libertarian Party Vice-Chair
Lower medical costs come from price competition
Q: Do you support or oppose the statement, "Expand ObamaCare"?
A: Strongly oppose. Lower medical costs come from price competition, as has happened with laser eye surgery. Laser eye surgery is not covered by government insurance.
Its price has dropped like a rock. EpiPen is covered by government; its price has skyrocketed. The free market lowers medical costs; government increases them.
Q: So what would you do with ObamaCare, repeal or replace, or some combination?
A: If elected, I will sponsor legislation to end the FDA, repeal Obamacare,
abolish Medicare, abolish Medicaid, eliminate restrictions on foreign doctors practicing in America, and cut taxes accordingly.
When we eliminate the FDA, you get access to life-saving drugs faster. Previously inflated costs due to the ineffective requirements of the FDA will be eliminated and drug development companies will enter the market once again, seeking to
develop cures and improved treatments for cancers and rare diseases. When we eliminate Medicare part D, we decrease the costs of drugs to the consumer and taxpayers. So you will have safer drugs in your hands a decade sooner, also be more affordable.
