Yesterday I was able to attend a press event with former Governor Thompson, candidate for the US Senate. Like most republicans now a days he spoke out against Obamacare. However the big difference is that he offered a potential alternative. The problem with the healthcare system according to Thompson is:
- Complex and confusing regulations that have destroyed the market,
- The disconnection of economic realities and consumer choices; and
- The lack of true competition among providers and insurers.
It will be interesting to see how the other candidates respond. The primary is on August 14th, and running against Thompson are Mark Neuman, Eric Hovde, and Jeff Fitzgerald. Tammy Baldwin is currently running unopposed on the democrat ticket.
