Issue Position: Healthcare

Issue Position

All Americans should have access to affordable quality healthcare, but too many in Washington would rather engage in political posturing and pandering, rather than engage in a frank discussion about how to improve the current legislation. Many of the provisions in the Affordable Care Act, such as the ban on pre-existing conditions, or allowing children to stay on their parents' health insurance until their 26th birthdays, are common sense policies that should not be repealed. That's why I believe we should build on the progress made by the Affordable Care Act. We need to mend it, not end it.

I believe affordable healthcare is a basic human right, and support the Affordable Care Act, while acknowledging its current flaws. As your Congressman, I avow to work with both sides of the aisle to reform our nation's healthcare policy, reduce the cost of healthcare, improve the quality of healthcare services, and fight the rising costs of prescription drugs.
