	Maura Healey on Health Care

Treat mental health care as seriously as other health care

As Governor, Maura will ensure we have a [healthcare] system that serves every community. This includes:

Treating mental and behavioral health care as seriously as all other forms of health care. Maura will invest in workforce development and support, create enforceable standards for parity in coverage, and build on successful models for providing behavioral health access in the community.
Lowering the cost of prescription drugs by increasing transparency in the pharmaceutical industry and exploring ways to ensure that prices correlate with the value new drugs add to available treatment regimens.
Focusing on ways to lower overall health care costs for families, including rising premiums and out-of-pocket costs, and ways to address unwarranted increases in provider prices.

ACA remains the law of the land; peoples' lives depend on it

In a statement, Healey said the coalition will defend the ACA, including the law's provision that protects people with pre-existing conditions. "The ACA remains the law of the land and it needs to stay that way--we cannot let this Administration get away with sabotaging our health care," Healey said. "I am joining my colleagues in defending the ACA in front of the U.S. Supreme Court and protecting access to health care for millions of families across the country. People's lives depend on it."
