He wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with tax credits and less regulation. He opposes net neutrality.

Rubio opposes the Obama administration's normalization of relations with Cuba. Rubio supports increased sanctions on Iran, and opposed the Iran Nuclear Deal. He also favors aiding local Sunni forces in Iraq and Syria in their fight against ISIS. Rubio is of the opinion that the United States cannot accept more Syrian refugees because background checks cannot be done under present circumstances but he supports working with allies to set up no-fly zones in Syria to protect civilians from Bashar al-Assad. He also favors mass government surveillance of the American population and has stated that gun control laws fail to achieve their purpose. He is supportive of the Trans Pacific Partnership because it is of his belief that the U.S. risks exclusion from global trade unless it is more open to trade, and he is wary of China regarding national security and human rights; he supports increases U.S. military presence in that region, but hopes for greater economic growth as a result of trade with that country. On capital punishment, Rubio favors "streamlining the appeals process" so that the death penalty can occur more frequently. (en)
