"Ayotte: Health Care Mandate is Affront to Religious Liberty," February 7, 2012.
  • According to her website, Kelly Ayotte "wants to replace Obamacare with true health care reform that harnesses the power of competition to bring down costs and expand access to quality care. That includes better facilitating the purchase of health insurance across state lines and enabling small businesses to form pools that enhance their purchasing power. Additionally, she believes health savings accounts should be expanded, individuals who purchase health insurance should have the same tax benefits that employers receive, and that states should be allowed to establish adequate high risk pools."[1]
  • In November 2013, Ayotte criticized the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. She said, "Call a time out, Mr. President. It’s not working … the problem is much deeper [than the healthcare exchange website]." According to ‘The Hill, Ayotte "suggested that instead of a healthcare exchange, Americans should be able to purchase health insurance across state lines, increasing competition and lowering costs."[2]
  • Ayotte has sponsored and co-sponsored several bill to improve the mental health system, including: The Mental Health First Aid Act (S. 153), Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act (S. 116), Mental Health Awareness and Improvement Act (S. 689), Justice and Mental Health Collaboration (S. 162) and Caring for America's Heroes Act (S. 2276).[3]
