America's health care system is broken and the impact on families in Wisconsin is very real. Wisconsinites are paying higher deductibles, paying a higher percentage of the cost from their paychecks, and have a limited choice of doctors. These are real problems that must be addressed.
As Governor, Mark Neumann will:

Join the teamWisconsinites have the right to choose private healthcare insurance and should have the right to say 'no' to government-imposed coverage. Reserving the right of individuals to make their own decisions regarding healthcare is a serious concern. The federal government has not been given the authority to force individuals to make purchases of goods.
Many other states are considering constitutional amendments that aim to preserve private healthcare choice. In Wisconsin, a Senate Joint Resolution currently in draft form, (LRB-3861/1), and likely to be introduced by state Sen. Joe Leibham of Sheboygan would preserve choice and private healthcare options in Wisconsin. Mark Neumann fully supports this action. (A copy of the draft legislation can be found at this link: http://media.markforgov.com/09-38611.pdf)
Watch Mark discuss the problems with ObamaCare (including the costs to businesses and the Constitutionality of the bill) and give his solutions for Wisconsin health care.
More than a dozen state Attorneys General are considering a constitutional challenge to what has become known as the "Nebraska Exemption." The basis of the challenge relates to the provision made for Senator Ben Nelson that would exempt Nebraska from having to cover the additional Medicaid costs required by the federal healthcare bill. The critics believe the 'exemption' would violate commerce and tax uniformity guarantees by treating one state differently from others. As Governor, Mark Neumann will work with the Attorney General on this issue to preserve individual liberty in Wisconsin.
In addition, the Constitution does not give the federal government the power to mandate that private citizens buy a private sector product without any prerequisite conditions.
The bottom line is that Wisconsin must be protected from any unfair and potentially unconstitutional Congressional action. By forcing citizens to buy health insurance, the federal bill will be problematic no matter what form it takes. Even setting aside the huge cost to taxpayers, this is shaping up to be an excessive and troubling overreach by the federal government, and challenges are likely once the final legislation is unveiled.
Mark's TV ad describes the 25,000 petitions signed by Wisconsinites to oppose ObamaCare.
