Health Care

The freedom to make one’s own health care decisions is a fundamental human right. When government protects that right, innovation and competition make health care more universal—better, more affordable, and more secure. When government taxes our earnings or restricts our choice of providers, treatments, and health insurance, it denies that right and makes health care less universal.
