Campaign themes (2016)
The issues below were listed on Johnson's 2016 campaign website.[2]
- Income and Social Security: "I propose the income limit should be abolished and that the 6.5% tax should apply to all earned income. I also believe that social security should never be privatized."[2]
- Healthcare:
| “ |
Health care should be treated more as a right to care than a profit based system. I’m afraid that most of the profit and excessive expense of our current health care system is derived from poor quality care that is rewarded instead of penalized. The healthcare industry needs to be held accountable in at least some token way. I do not believe in the nationalization of health insurance (a single payer system), but a public option of Medicare like coverage should be made available to every citizen.[3] |
