Heller Leads on Healthcare, Fights for Option Right for Nevada

Obamacare clearly isn’t the answer — but doing nothing isn’t the answer either.

From Pioche to Battle Mountain families have expressed unbearable struggles with the massive increases in premiums and a total loss of options for healthcare under Obamacare. Next year, Nevadans living in 14 of our 17 counties will have no insurer at all to choose from and those purchasing insurance on the individual market will face an average premium increase of 38 percent.

Too many Nevadans, particularly those living in rural areas, have been left with dwindling or no choices because Obamacare is unworkable.

That’s why I voted to proceed and debate many different repeal and replace options that could work for Nevada. I have been working with colleagues on commonsense solutions that would improve our healthcare system — including giving more power back to states, where it belongs, and repealing the individual and employer mandates that force individuals to buy a product they may not want.

To be clear — I am voting to begin debate because I believe that we can and must do better.

If the final product isn’t improved for the state of Nevada, then I will not vote for it. If it is improved, I will.

Nevada is and will remain my top priority.
