Obamacare is a flawed program, but it’s time to recognize that it’s not going anywhere, says one Republican House candidate.

David Young, who is running in Iowa’s third congressional district, told an audience at Des Moines University on Monday that Republicans should work to make “some tweaks here and there” to the health-care law, but not expect for it to be repealed.

“I think this law is going to be here to stay,” he said, according to the Des Moines Register. “The president is not going to allow his keystone legislation to go by the wayside. So we’re going to have to work to make it better.”

Young detailed changes he would make to the law, including reducing the amount of regulation and promoting price transparency in health care markets.

Young is running against Democrat Staci Appel to replace retiring Republican congressman Tom Latham. The Cook Political Report currently rates the race a “toss-up.”
