Do you also favor a compulsory health insurance system with some subsidies for the poor?

Compulsory? That sounds too much like single-payer, which I unconditionally oppose.

As in everyone is required to purchase insurance with some bare bones subsidies for the extremely poor (think medicaid).

If people are allowed to purchase private insurance, I am fairly indifferent towards it. I would not stop it, but I would rather spend time to pursue free market solutions, such as supporting the importation of prescription drugs from Canada.

Abortion: FL
Balanced Budget: R
Business Tax: FR
Education: R
Energy: CR
Environment: R
Gun Control: R
Health Care: CR
Homeland Security: FL
Immigration: CL
Iran: CL
Iraq: FL
Outsourcing: CR
Personal Tax: R
Same-Sex Marriage: CL
Social Security: FR
Unions: CR
War on Terror: FL

I don't really like any of the planks for Health Care. I also think it would be more accurate to describe the FR position on Personal Tax as "eliminate all taxation". Finally, I think the FR position on Social Security is more moderate than the R position, since it implied that you could invest none of your retirement payments whereas it is not clear that the R position would allow you to do that in the long-term.
