Issue Position: Improve Access to Affordable Health Care and Prescription Drugs

Issue Position

Health care is a right, not a privilege--and tough economic times should not mean our children, families and seniors are denied they quality care they deserve. Nelson and Matt know that small businesses are struggling with rising insurance premiums. That's why they're fighting to keep insurance affordable by reducing premium costs and lowering administrative expenses. They increased funding for local hospitals, and are fighting to construct the South Jersey Regional Veteran's Health Care Facility, ensuring that our veterans receive the quality care they deserve.

Together with Senator Jeff Van Drew, Nelson and Matt are committed to ensuring seniors living on fixed incomes can afford need prescription drugs. They are fought to fully-fund New Jersey's Senior Gold and PAAD programs, and are working to reduce drug costs directly by taking on pharmaceutical companies who put their profits before the best interests of consumers.
