Healthcare
Problem: Healthcare is broken and Congress has been ineffective at fixing it: premiums are out of control, insurance doesn’t cover near enough, and your entire healthcare strategy becomes hoping you don’t get sick, or hoping you’ll get better.
Action: When I’m elected, I will introduce the Stop Worrying About Your Healthcare Act to do the following:
Cap premium hikes for three years, and then match hike increases to inflation so families don’t have to choose between rent and health coverage.
Demand $50 urgent care visit for everyone. So you have access to a doctor when you need it.
Extend Medicare-negotiated prescription costs to the ACA. If Medicare folks can get a better price, so should you.
End surprise medical bills. For all procedures, just like any other transaction a consumer enters into with a business.
Mandate insurance companies pay 85% of premiums on patient care, up from 80%.
We shouldn’t have to choose between fighting cancer and fighting insurance companies, and when I get to Congress, this is the change I’ll fight for.
