Republican U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina said the federal government should promote choice and competition as a way to lower health care costs.

Speaking to reporters Wednesday, Fiorina rejected the Democratic health overhaul plan that is before Congress. She said it will not resolve the fundamental problem of making sure every American can get quality, affordable health care.

Fiorina agreed the health insurance industry needs more government regulation.

Her comments came as President Barack Obama traveled to a St. Louis suburb as part of a series of town hall-style events to promote health care reform.

Fiorina was in Sacramento picking up the endorsement of former secretary of state Bill Jones in her primary race against two other Republican candidates.
