Nick Carter on Health Care

Democratic Senate Challenger

Negotiate on Rx drug prices; then means testing is ok

Q: Do you support Means Testing? And do you support the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit?

A: Allowing Medicare to negotiate with providers and prescription drug companies to achieve the lowest prices is a positive start to preserving Medicare. If Medicare is made efficient and affordable then it can withstand means testing and still be more than competitive with private insurers.
