“The Supreme Court’s decision is a disappointment, and an insult to the large majority of Ohioans who opposed Obamacare by their vote for Issue 3 last year.

Despite the disappointment, the decision shouldn’t be a period at the end of the healthcare debate, but rather a comma that allows us to pivot towards further common sense reform. We must continue our efforts to repeal and replace this massive government expansion and tax increase.

That’s why I’ll push for patient-centered solutions like tort reform, health insurance portability, the promotion of health savings accounts and allowing individuals and groups to combine and purchase insurance together. And I’ll fight to protect the doctor-patient relationship, because doctors – not bureaucrats – know what’s best for their patients.”
