More Bureaucracy in Healthcare?

Have you been pecked by a turkey? Bitten by a turkey? These are just 2 of 13,000 individual codes that doctors must use to identify diagnoses in order to get reimbursed from the government. These codes will soon grow to 68,000 and can cost small practices a minimum of $83,000 just to comply. These codes add more statistics for Washington, but don’t benefit a single patient. That’s why I introduced "The Cutting Costly Codes Act" (H.R. 1701) to stop the implementation of these excessive

Heritage’s Flawed Immigration Analysis

Issues: 

The following article was written by Alex Nowrasteh, an immigration policy analyst at the Cato Institute’s Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity:

In the Washington Post today, Jim DeMint and Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation invoke the free-market pantheon in arguing their anti-immigration stance: “The economist Milton Friedman warned that the United States cannot have open borders and an extensive welfare state.”

Young Republicans Support Economic Fairness for all Americans

Issues: 

San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro and former World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz recently addressed the Young Republicans in an opinion essay ("Political support grows for same-sex marriage," Page B7, April 26), supporting same-sex marriage and advocating for the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).

Castro's position and his willingness to discuss same-sex marriage on the national stage reflect a clear departure from the Democratic Party's historical position. While certain polls indicate that support for same-sex marriage has recently

California Should Imitate Texas When it Comes to the Energy Industry

Texas is expanding with high paying jobs and leading America in entrepreneurship while California continues its nosedive. Texas, depending upon less taxes, common-sense regulation and encouragement of entrepreneurship, has grown whereas California is falling further behind with bankruptcy just around the corner. Here is the kicker, California could be as wealthy as Texas and be able to raise enough revenues to wet the appetite of any California politicians.
