Health Care
As a North Carolina State Senator, Senator Hagan helped North Carolina extend health insurance to uninsured children, expand preventive and primary care for uninsured patients in rural North Carolina, and end insurance discrimination against mental health care. In these tough economic times, Americans are fighting to maintain their health care coverage as premiums rise, insurance covers less, drug prices escalate, and health plans discriminate against those with chronic conditions. In the U.S. Senate, Senator Hagan has focused on expanding affordable, quality health care access to North Carolinians and to all Americans. During the Senate debate on health care, Senator Hagan championed efforts to invest in higher quality, more efficient care, as well as preventive care initiatives to keep people healthy. She also worked to streamline the health care system to cut down on waste. These efforts will help ensure that health care is more affordable and accessible for families and businesses. She also included provisions in the bill to fight diabetes, help seniors manage their medications and increase the physician workforce in rural areas.
