Dino Rossi believes that the health care bill passed by Congress, known as ObamaCare, was a [[tax and spend]] bill that will cost taxpayers $1 trillion. According to Dino Rossi's campaign Web site, Rossi wants to repeal ObamaCare for the following reasons: most workers won’t be able to keep the health insurance plan they currently have, even if they like it; premiums for working families will increase taxes on middle class families by half a trillion dollars; and, seniors will see $500 billion in cuts to Medicare. Rossi wants to replace ObamaCare with "common-sense bipartisan proposals that give power to patients and doctors not government and insurance companies."<ref name=issues>http://www.dinorossi.com/issues/</ref>
Dino Rossi's health care proposals, according to his Senate campaign website:
* Replace Pelosi-Reid healthcare bill with something that will actually lower health insurance costs, improve access to a greater variety of health insurance plans, and give people choice in picking their doctors.
* Allow citizens to buy health insurance across state lines, as they do for other types of insurance.
* Make offering insurance more affordable for small businesses by allowing them to join together and get the discounts available to big corporations.
* Give individuals the same tax deductions as corporations.
