Dr. Neal Dunn grew up in an Army family and was stationed at over 20 places before college including in Vietnam during middle school. He was an Eagle Scout and National Merit Scholar before matriculating at Washington and Lee University. After medical school at George Washington, he joined the US Army as a surgeon completing his residency at Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) and Surgical Fellowship at Duke University. He continued his surgical career in many stations around the world before settling in Bay County, Florida in 1990. It was during his service at WRAMC in Washington that he met and married his wife Leah, of over 30 years.
Having worked as a doctor in both the U.S. Army and the 2nd District for over 30 years, I know firsthand how important the relationship is between doctors and their patients. That’s why I continue to support full repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Bureaucrats in Washington shouldn’t be making important decisions about your health care, you should.
Over the last several years, we have seen how detrimental the Affordable Care Act has been on this country. It has kicked millions of Americans off their insurance plans, sky-rocketed their insurance costs, and limited their choice in choosing the doctors they like. Hardworking Americans across the country are forced to spend more on their health care. We need patient-centered reforms that actually lowers costs and expands access for all.
I look forward to working with my colleagues in Congress to fully repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act with a common-sense, patient-centered health care law that will decrease skyrocketing insurance costs, while improving the quality of care.
