In today’s AFP Blue Dog interview, LG candidates Byrne and Bolling discuss the current challenges Virginia health care faces moving forward along with the differences in party philosophies with the issue:
“So I would question whether or not the proposals put forth by Ms. Byrne are legally possible, and even if they were, I do not believe they represent sound public policy. And these proposals have no realistic chance of passage in the General Assembly,” Bolling said.
“Perhaps most important, they clearly show that Ms. Byrne’s answer to every problem begins and ends with another government program,” Bolling said.
What is Bolling’s alternative plan for lower health-care expenses?
“Good question,” Byrne said. “He chaired a study committee that was supposed to help Virginia come up with a plan to address health-care coverage for Virginia. He came up with nothing substantive, and he still hasn’t.”
