Michael Morgan: Quality, affordable healthcare is a fundamental human right

Quality, affordable healthcare is a fundamental human right that should be accessible to every North Carolinian, regardless of their background or residence. All residents have a right to comprehensive healthcare and autonomy in reproductive choices, discussed privately between patient and doctor. It is vital to address and rectify racial healthcare disparities, ensuring equality across all counties. Additionally, we must work towards making prescription drug prices affordable for all.

Mike Braun: Innovation, competition can address high cost of healthcare

The high cost of healthcare in Indiana is a glaring weakness when it comes to attracting new companies, new residents, and it puts a burden on hardworking Hoosiers and business owners. Solutions such as transparency, innovation, competition, and empowering consumers are not hard to figure out, but will take bold leadership to implement in the face of the powerful healthcare lobby.

Mike Braun: Will never lockdown state or mandate masks for kids

The lockdowns during the Covid-19 pandemic were a disaster for our state and led to business closures, job losses, mental health issues, learning loss, and still failed to protect the most vulnerable. As Governor, Mike Braun will never lockdown our state, mandate masks for our kids, or tell someone their job or business is not essential, and he will always protect Hoosiers' right to medical freedom.

Eric Doden: Ensure hospitals provide full transparency in pricing

The state of Indiana spends billions of dollars each year on health care while providing special tax breaks to health care institutions. As Governor, we will implement a plan to ensure hospitals provide full transparency in pricing and their use of taxpayer funding. We will also incentivize non-profit hospitals to invest a portion of their billions in profits -- which are currently on Wall Street -- back into the Main Streets of the communities they serve.

Brian King: Important to make mental health treatment more accessible

His commitment to representing those whose mental health and substance use disorder treatment claims were denied by insurance companies reflects a dedication to justice and advocacy. "It's very much a David v. Goliath situation. It's an important effort to make mental health treatment more accessible and to hold insurers accountable. I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing with my life (except being Governor). It's making a difference for good--for the better."
