Sen. Kennedy serves on the Appropriations, Banking, Budget, Judiciary, and Small Business Committees in the U.S. Senate. He serves as the top Republican of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development, Judiciary Subcommittee on Federal Courts, and Banking Subcommittee on Economic Policy.
As I continue to travel around our state, I hear Louisianans talk about how devastating Obamacare has been for their families and small businesses. I remain committed to replacing Obamacare with a health care system that looks like it was designed on purpose. I want a country and a state in which a mother can take her sick child to a family doctor instead of an emergency room because her family has effective, affordable health insurance from the private sector.
Right now, the U.S. spends more money on health care each year than the entire government budgets of all but five countries. Americans should not be forced to buy insurance they don’t like at prices they can’t afford. Here’s what we need instead: more choice, more competition, less fraud, and a health care delivery system that puts patients and their doctors in charge instead of Washington politicians and bureaucrats.
