Dr. Brent Davis Staton, a Democrat running in the 3rd Congressional District and a physician, says the health care reform bill needs tweaking.
Dr. Staton met with the Chattanooga Times Free Press editorial board Friday.
“As a medical community, we need to focus on health care delivery,” Dr. Staton said. “That means delivering health care before folks go to the emergency room.”
He said he is against mandating people buy health insurance and against taxing so-called Cadillac health plans. He said he would support a hybrid-model health care system such as Australia’s, which is a mix of public and private care.
