Affordable Healthcare

ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

Every single American, especially those with disabilities or other pre-existing conditions, deserve access to affordable coverage that puts patients in control of their health care choices. I am committed to lowering costs and offering more choices to make our nation’s health care system work better. I have voted for real solutions to lower health care costs, including lowering drug prices, ending surprise billing, reducing premiums, cutting out-of-pocket costs, and providing tax relief.

I will continue to oppose radical policies like “Medicare for All,” legislation that would eliminate private insurance and disrupt coverage for hundreds of millions of Americans. Medicare for All would cost at least $32 trillion, effectively bankrupting our nation. It would kick employees off their employer-sponsored health care plans and end popular Medicare Advantage plans.

I will continue to advocate for patient-centered solutions that increase access, lower costs, and protect the vulnerable in our society. I have consistently supported legislation to that end, including

  • The Pre-existing Conditions Protection Act of 2019 to prohibit application of pre-existing condition exclusions and to guarantee availability of health insurance coverage in the individual and group market
  • The Association Health Plans Act of 2019 to expand access to association health plans for American small businesses and working families, including self-employed business owners
  • The Health Care PRICE Transparency Act to provide for hospital and insurer price transparency
  • The 21st Century Cures Act to increase the discovery and development of life-saving treatments
  • The Lower Costs, More Cures Act of 2019 to lower the cost of prescription drugs for Americans
  • The Ban Surprise Billing Act of 2020 to protect patients from devastating surprise medical bills
