Christy McLaughlin: Healthcare Decisions are Personal

Florida

ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

c These very personal and private healthcare decisions rest solely between you and your doctor. Insurance companies and the government have increasingly encroached and restricted our right to make our own health decisions. Our current healthcare system is fraught with hardships and barriers to care. I believe we need to remove the mountains of regulations and requirements that interfere with access to healthcare and return healthcare to the free-market.

I propose removing the middlemen from the delivery of healthcare and returning total control of healthcare to each individual. We should allow individuals or groups to purchase health insurance across state lines. The government should lift regulations that restrict the ability to purchase prescription drugs from other countries. As your Congresswoman, I will introduce legislation to allow the purchase of Medicare down to age 55. And I believe that healthy, well-developed children are our national treasure and children must be prioritized and cherished. I will sponsor legislation for universal Medicaid for children from birth to 18 years old. No parent should ever have to choose between child’s healthcare and feeding their family. This can be done by cutting exorbitant spending in other legislation.
