	Lizzie Pannill Fletcher on Health Care

Let Medicare negotiate drug prices

Ensuring we stay healthy means knowing that our residents are rightly concerned about access to and affordability of health care. We stay healthy by working with both parties to bring down the cost of health care by introducing common-sense, cost-saving measures like allowing Medicare to negotiate with drug companies to lower prescription drug prices; and to fight any attempt to eliminate protections for people with pre-existing conditions like cancer, diabetes, or asthma.

Strengthen ACA by stabilizing market

The ACA was a strong first step toward making health care accessible, but we have work ahead of us to improve it. Strengthening the ACA begins with stabilizing the market. It is time to devote real and serious attention to addressing the pressing health care needs of Houstonians and all Americans, not recklessly dismantling the system with no alternative plan in place, as the Republicans in Congress have sought to do at every turn.

Supports public option, not Medicare for All

Fletcher did say "we need universal health care" but if you continue to watch, you see that's not exactly what she meant. "We need universal health care. Not just health care coverage, not just health care insurance, but that we all need access to health care," she goes on to say. Fletcher then discusses her support of keeping the Affordable Care Act and adding a public option to buy into Medicare--not Medicare for All or any other single-payer plan.

Keep ObamaCare, according to PVS survey.

Fletcher 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")?' PVS self-description: "The Political Courage Test provides voters with positions on key issues. 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."
