Issue Position: Affordable & High Quality Healthcare

Issue Position

When it comes to healthcare, I believe New Jersey's individuals and families have three main priorities: choice, quality, and affordability. That's why I introduced my bill that would permit New Jerseyans to purchase health insurance from other states, which would encourage competition in the healthcare marketplace, drive down insurance costs, and expand our choices. I also am leading the way in an innovative bipartisan effort to emphasize prevention and early treatment of chronic disease for public employees, which will improve the quality of outcomes for the employees and save money for taxpayers. I also support protecting doctors and hospitals from abusive lawsuits, which also will lower costs by cutting down on needless procedures demanded by defensive medicine, and permit more doctors to stay in New Jersey.
