Issues: Health and Health Care
Healthcare availability and medical treatment is another cornerstone of our community. Our hospitals and doctors are clearly committed to Southern Maryland, but they are often hindered by the health care industry. We need transparency for patients when purchasing insurance. Citizens need to know what is covered and what is not. We must ensure that we have state funding for mental health and substance abuse treatments. We should work to ensure that our state sponsored insurance plans are attractive to medical specialists who can provide services to our citizens. Medical care is critical for our citizens and we need to have the best possible options in our communities.
