Issue Position: Our Healthcare

Issue Position

Sharice believes -

Too many Americans are suffering - and dying - because they lack affordable healthcare.
It is unacceptable that we pay the highest cost for prescription drugs in the world.
Women face too many restrictions and regulations over the care of their own bodies. Costs are too high for the full range of necessary reproductive healthcare services, including pre-natal, post-natal, contraception, and fertility treatment.
Sharice plans to -

Support the continued expansion of Medicaid.
Support legislation that prevents price gouging and restricts the ability of companies to slow the introduction of generic brands.
Enable Medicare to negotiate drug prices.
Support legislation that ensures women have access to a full range of healthcare services and that they are not excluded from insurance plans or denied care by providers.
Support initiatives aimed at reducing the alarming and preventable disparity of maternal mortality rate facing African American mothers.
