HEALTH CARE

It Affects Everybody

* Private Health Insurance Availability

* Competition in the Private Sector drives down costs

* HOSPITALS MUST LIST THEIR PRICES

* Veterans Health is priority. The recently passed VA Mission Act authorizes the expansion of veterans’ access to private health care giving Veterans a choice

* Reduce prescription costs, by working directly with those companies.

* Medicare for all means low quality health care and puts your life in the hands of the Government. It's also a pipe dream at $50+ Trillion. Socialized medicine is a failure and will tax the middle class immensely. I use the VA and am very familiar with this subject.

* There are already many programs in place for the less fortunate. These programs range from Government subsidies to Charitable foundations that cover complete costs
