SENIORS

The pandemic brought to light the utter contempt our liberal leaders have for our senior citizens. Their callous decisions stem from a complete disregard for LIFE that manifests itself in a willingness to kill infants and the elderly. When all is said and done, more seniors will have died in nursing homes at the hands of Democrat governors than died in the attack on 9-11. I will support all efforts to hold these people criminally liable for these blatantly unconstitutional crimes against humanity. Their positions of leadership should not shield such atrocities any more than Hitler could claim immunity by being the leader of the (Nazi’s) National Socialist German Workers' Party. Additionally, I will support all efforts to increase penalties and punishments for those convicted of elder abuse. If there was ever a need for the designation of a “hate crime”, it would be for those who target the most vulnerable among us.

HEALTHCARE

Like so many other facets of our society, the biggest roadblock to a robust healthcare system is government intrusion. It should be a free market, responding to the laws of supply and demand. As our healthcare demands increase with each generation, the supply of healthcare professionals, insurance, equipment and medication must increase at an even greater rate to drive costs down. Nothing drives prices down faster than competition. No one has a “right” to healthcare, but we all need it! Therefore, it should be affordable to all. Right now, the market is being artificially inflated due to heavy industry regulation. We need transparency and we need to remove the restraints constraining competition on a State by State basis and allow inter-state access to all facets and suppliers in this industry. This is where the collective bargaining power of a union or co-op can be fully realized. Additionally, I would support an effort to provide real tax credits and incentives to those who choose this profession.
