Verify Medicaid residency against driver's license records

Two years ago, the Legislative Auditor found that Medicaid was still paying for individuals who had moved out of state. The previous administration did not address this issue. Thanks to the LA-DOGE team, starting April 26th, the Louisiana Department of Health and the Office of Motor Vehicles will share data to verify Medicaid users' residency against driver's license records, potentially saving $50 million annually.

Fought mandatory COVID vaccines for schoolchildren

This year, parents and guardians stood together with Jeff Landry in opposition to the COVID-19 shot being required for their children to attend school. As a result of their coming together, the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) decided to rescind the mandate for Louisiana students. As of yesterday, it has officially been repealed.

Nationalized care reduces quality and increases costs

I oppose nationalized health care efforts that will reduce the quality of care, lead to rationing, put a bureaucrat between you and your doctor and spend our nation further and further into debt.

I do support efforts to allow insurance to be purchased across state lines, increasing competition. I believe that government mandates to provide service that patients do not want or do not need increase costs.

Better care, lower costs and less government involvement--not more--is my platform.

Opposes government-run healthcare.

Landry opposes the CC survey question on government-run healthcare

The Christian Coalition voter guide [is] one of the most powerful tools Christians have ever had to impact our society during elections. This simple tool has helped educate tens of millions of citizens across this nation as to where candidates for public office stand on key faith and family issues.

The CC survey summarizes candidate stances on the following topic: "Federal government run health care system"
