State of Iowa secondary Archives: on Health Care


Michael Franken: Seeks to pick up the banner of disability advocate

As the father of a child with disabilities, he has seen how inconsistent care can be in years where he was transferred 17 different times. She would have great support in one community and the next there would be no support. For his daughter and for veterans who were injured, he seeks to pick up the banner of former Senator Tom Harkin as a disability advocate.

Michael Franken: Add essential vision, hearing, dental services to Medicare

Iowans deserve a health care system like the one I had in the military; one that provides high quality and affordable health care. A big first step is to make Medicare available starting at age 50. It can be improved by adding coverage for basic, essential vision, hearing, and dental services. Adding this vital coverage will greatly improve the health and quality of life for older Iowans.

Michael Franken: Let Medicare negotiate prescription drug prices

High drug prices are putting too many Iowans at risk. Many skip getting needed prescriptions filled, cut their pills in half, or take them less often than required. To drive down the cost, Medicare needs to do what the Veterans Administration does--use its national purchasing power to negotiate prices with drug companies. We have a system in place that works. Let's expand it to benefit everyone.
