Health Care 
   

Congress must make health care more accessible and affordable for all Americans. Over 43 million Americans are uninsured. Prescription drug costs are skyrocketing.

Some of the steps I am taking to improve health care for all Americans include:

  • Supporting a strong Patients Bill of Rights, even when it means standing up to my own party leadership.  
  • Voting to make health care premiums 100% deductible and to create new tax breaks for elderly home care and dependent care.
  • Writing legislation to allow reimportation of cheaper prescription drugs from Canada and other countries.
  • Fighting frivolous lawsuits that are driving doctors out of business and increasing costs for patients.

Approaching Widening Bailouts with Caution 

Untitled Document

When Congress passed an unprecedented $700 billion bailout of the financial sector, I warned that it would pave the way for future bailouts, and sadly, that prediction has proven true as the Big Three American car manufacturers are asking for a $25 billion bailout.  No one wants these companies to fail, but it would be a grave mistake for the federal government to bailout these companies without fundamentally reforming their business models.
