Issue Position: Healthcare

Issue Position

The left's ultimate goal is Medicare for All which will remove individuals from their current insurance and place the government in charge as decision makers for our health care. We should put patients and doctors in charge of health outcomes. One way is through promoting transparency in pricing. Knowing up front medical costs allows individuals to shop around for their best options at the lowest prices. With transparency in pricing comes the elimination of surprise medical billing. Surprise medical billing is an issue right now in which too many people receive bills for procedures that they didn't expect or agree to pay. I will always favor policies that give patients more control and encourages competition which then leads to innovation and better outcomes for patient care.
