HEALTHCARE PLUS | THE ROGERS HEALTHCARE PLAN
“HEALTHCARE PLUS “ENSURES COMPREHENSIVE, AFFORDABLE, AND ACCESSIBLE HEALTHCARE
- Expanding Access: I support expanding healthcare access through measures like enhancing Medicaid and Medicare. I advocate for introducing a public option to increase coverage and competition in the healthcare market.
- Lowering Prescription Drug Costs: Addressing high prescription drug costs is a top priority. I propose allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices, importing cheaper medications, and capping out-of-pocket expenses for prescriptions.
- Reducing Healthcare Costs: My initiatives include promoting price transparency, encouraging competition among healthcare providers, and emphasizing preventive care to lower long-term healthcare expenses.
- Protecting Pre-existing Conditions: I prioritize protecting coverage for pre-existing conditions. I propose strengthening regulations to prevent insurers from denying coverage or charging higher premiums based on health status.
- Improving Mental Health Services: I emphasize improving access to mental health treatment and ensuring mental health parity in insurance coverage.
- Addressing Healthcare Disparities: I propose initiatives to address healthcare inequities based on race, ethnicity, income, and geography, aiming for equitable access to healthcare services.
