In a press release today, Gary Johnson, former New Mexico governor and honorary chairman of the recently launched Our America Initiative, weighed in on the health care reform. He had this to say:

There seems to be enormous pressure to resolve this matter quickly regardless of the ramifications. The proposed health care plan could have long lasting detrimental consequences to our economic health.  We don’t need more of a deficit –we need less of one.  I urge the Senate to take the time needed to seriously review these potential concerns and not rush to pass this faulty plan.

He further commented, stating that, along with most of us in the liberty movement, his support lies with free-market reforms that promote private sector management of health care.  As many agree, the system is in need of repair, he noted that reform should focus on “affordability, portability, and control by the individual rather than government or an employer.”
