Jen Seegmiller completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Seegmiller's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Idaho's Department of Health and Welfare spent $336,759,900 in FY 2021, mostly to fund Medicaid, yet health outcomes have not improved. This needs to change. It starts with good preventive care policies and patient education. Healthcare should be accessible, affordable, transparent, science and ethics based. While these are ideals we strive for, achievement is often difficult. Rural areas, such as found in much of Idaho, have particular challenges with access. Burdensome overregulation and cuts in reimbursements have caused many private medical practices to go out of business. As a family nurse practitioner, I understand the complexities of healthcare and want to be part of a sustainable solution for Idaho without government mandates..
- Public education was a founding principle for this nation, moving us from an age where only the wealthy could afford to study. I believe in the transformative power of education, which enlightens and expands the mind beyond individual experience. Ongoing government support of education must be approached with wisdom and nonpartisan altruistic intent. I support and will defend quality public education, school choice, and parental rights in deciding how to educate their children.
- Many Idahoans are struggling from the effects of government policies imposed over the past two years. People are feeling strain from increasing expenses and eroded savings. The health of our national economy is closely tied to government policies, which unfortunately, have gone badly awry with inflation rates now hovering around 8% up from 1.23% in 2020. Idahoans need low taxes and steady living-wage jobs with available housing, goods, and services to take care of their families. I will fight for state policies that encourage entrepreneurship and innovation by eliminating unnecessary hurdles, keeping taxes low, and minimizing government regulation.
I do not support government mandated health insurance, unfunded federal healthcare mandates, or a reactive care instead of preventative care model. Many of the medical conditions that are driving uncontrolled healthcare spending are actually preventable, yet very little is done to encourage or teach healthy habits. This must change.
