I helped author and then voted for the Patients' Bill of Rights to make sure that health professionals and their patients are in control of health decisions. Pa. Graduated fighter pilot in U.S. Army Air Force. Graduated from St. Louis University with a degree in Aviation Maintenance Engineering. I've read extensively about government affairs and frequently attend meetings in D.C. relating to government. Government involvement in health care is a gross failure.
Administrative costs eat up half or more of total health care costs.
If the government would get out of health care, Social Security taxes and other taxes could be reduced to where the average citizen could pay for his own care for much less than he pays now. If there is any merit to government health care, it should ONLY cover catastrophic illnesses which would devastate a family financially. I represent a fresh voice for Pennsylvanians. I'm knowledgeable on the issues, independent, and will provide quality representation. I'm pro-choice and believe abortions should always be legally available.
