Haley Stevens on Health Care

 

 


Fix Obamacare: add public option; let 55-65 buy into system

Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Every single American deserves access to affordable, high-quality, and accessible healthcare. We need to work together to fix the Affordable Care Act (ACA), not dismantle it. We should implement a public option for the ACA so that the insurance companies that are acting as a near monopoly in some places have competition. I also support allowing people aged 55-65, who face the highest prices under the current system, to buy into Medicare.

Lower prescription drug costs for Medicare beneficiaries

Stevens on Rx costs: "The exorbitant cost of prescription drugs is forcing countless families in my district to make the impossible choice between taking care of their health and putting food on the table. We cannot tolerate a system that is causing 3 in 10 adults to not take their medication as prescribed due to high costs." Stevens introduced the Maximizing Drug Coverage for Low-Income Senior Act, designed to lower the cost of prescription drugs that Medicare beneficiaries struggle to pay for.

Protect ObamaCare: health care is a right, not a privilege

Q: What are your concerns and plans regarding U.S. health care policies and programs, including those affecting maternal and child health?

Haley Stevens: I believe that health care is a right, not a privilege. Every American deserves access to affordable, high-quality health care. We need to protect and improve the Affordable Care Act by fully implementing it. We also must take steps toward lowering prescription drug prices, first and foremost by letting the federal government use the full weight of its bargaining power to reduce costs for Medicare. And it is totally unacceptable that in the greatest country on earth any child goes without health care. We must improve and strengthen the Children's Health Insurance Program.

Keep ObamaCare, according to PVS survey.

Stevens opposes the PVS survey question on repealing ObamaCare

Project Vote Smart inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Health Care: Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")?'

Historically, candidates have failed to complete our test due to the advice they receive from their advisors and out of fear of negative attack ads."
