GA Congressional representatives, past and present: on Health Care
Jon Ossoff:
Defend Medicare and Medicaid and affordable health care
It is in our strong national interest that every American have quality, affordable health care. Whether it's a newborn just home from the hospital, a mother battling cancer, or a veteran returned from overseas, our health isn't negotiable.
Our quality of life, our strength, and our prosperity depend on it. It's time to move beyond the tired, partisan debate over health care policy, agree on some basic principles, and solve problems:- No American should suffer or die from
preventable or treatable illness.
- No American should be unable to make ends meet from out-of-control medical bills.
- No business should go under or lay off employees because it can't keep up with health insurance premiums.
Jon will work to
defend Medicare and Medicaid, ensure young people can stay on their family plan, prevent discrimination against Americans with pre-existing conditions, and ensure veterans swiftly get the care and benefits they've earned.

Jon Ossoff:
Maintain funding for CDC pandemic infrastructure
Congressional candidate Jon Ossoff called on the other 17 candidates in the Sixth District race to unify in opposition to a provision of the American Health Care Act (AHCA) that would gut the health security infrastructure necessary to detect and fight
infectious disease outbreaks like Ebola and Zika.The provision would slash funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), devastating efforts to protect Georgians and the nation from deadly pandemics.
The massive cuts would eliminate the Prevention and Public Health fund, which is critical to preventing outbreaks of dangerous diseases like Ebola and Zika.
"This is a national security issue," said
Ossoff. "No matter where candidates stand on the overall bill, we should unite to protect Georgia families from the deadly outbreak of diseases like Ebola and Zika," said Ossoff.

Rick Allen:
ObamaCare is wrong approach & needs to be stopped
In 2010, the Democrats in Congress rammed through ObamaCare, hurting our senior citizens by slashing billions from Medicare, decreasing the quality of healthcare and, most disturbingly, putting Washington bureaucrats between patients and doctors.
It's the wrong approach to healthcare and it needs to be stopped. I'll immediately join the fight to repeal ObamaCare and push for market-driven reforms rather than more big government solutions.
