Issue Position: Health Care
Governor Warner is committed to bringing leadership to the fight to fix our country's health care system. It is morally wrong that 47 million to 50 million Americans don't have access to healthcare in this country, but it is also wrong that we pay twice as much per person as our competitors around the world and we don't get twice as good a value. We need to bring down the price of prescription drugs, so Americans no longer pay the research and development cost for drugs for the rest of the world. We must make sure every American has access to affordable, universal health care coverage- and 21st century health care must also emphasize prevention.
