Obamacare is top-down federal control of the medical care system that places big government in position to coerce the behavior of one-sixth of Americas economy and pick winners and losers in the medical industry, Hagedorn said. The federal government should never be given the regulatory authority to dominate private industry or our way of life. Hagedorn criticized Congressman Walz for voting to undermine his constituents. Tim Walz voted for Obamacare and supports the Acts full implementation. Tim Walz is on the wrong side of history; he has placed Democrat politics and liberal ideology in front of the people he is paid to represent. The Congressman says that health care reform is a journey, not a destination, Hagedorn stated. Because of Tim Walz, it is astonishingly conceivable that one day patients will forgo their medical journeys and Rochester will be diminished as a medical destination. Hagedorn said the choice on Obamacare is clear. Congressman Walz is a partisan Democrat who supports the failed monstrosity of Obamacare; meanwhile, I will fight to repeal and replace the Act with free market reforms to foster medical excellence, drive down costs and sustain the quality of U.S. medical care as the worlds best, said Hagedorn. My message to the people of Rochester and southern Minnesota is simple: Ive got your back and I will always fight for you. Hagedorn said. ### The free-market reforms advocated by Jim Hagedorn: Health insurance competition across state lines to increase choice and drive down costs High-risk pools to protect people with serious illness/pre-existing conditions Extending health insurance tax credits and deductions to individuals to create portable benefits that follow from job-to-job or during times of unemployment Expanded application of Health Savings Accounts to empower consumers to shop for medical care and control costs, roll-over and save health care dollars and expand the use of catastrophic insurance policies Tort reform to curtail defensive medicine and place downward pressure on costs associated frivolous lawsuits and excessive legal wrangling.
