Issue Position: HEALTH CARE
Issue Position
It is in our strong national interest that every American have quality, affordable health care.
Whether it's a newborn just home from the hospital, a mother battling cancer, or a veteran returned from overseas, our health isn't negotiable.
Our quality of life, our strength, and our prosperity depend on it.
It's time to move beyond the tired, partisan debate over health care policy, agree on some basic principles, and solve problems.
No American should suffer or die from preventable or treatable illness.
No American should be unable to make ends meet from out-of-control medical bills.
No business should go under or lay off employees because it can't keep up with health insurance premiums.
Jon will work to defend Medicare and Medicaid, ensure young people can stay on their family plan, prevent discrimination against Americans with pre-existing conditions, and ensure veterans swiftly get the care and benefits they've earned.
Jon will defend women's access to contraception and a woman's right to choose and fight any legislation or executive action that would allow insurance companies to discriminate against women.
Jon will go to work to ensure that health insurance premiums don't cripple small businesses or force them to lay off employees.
Jon will introduce legislation to simplify and streamline the online health insurance marketplace so Georgians can easily understand the available plans and sign up quickly, without stress, at any time of year.
It is inefficient and dangerous for Americans to rely on the emergency room to treat preventable illness. Jon will work to ensure all Americans have access to preventative care, which will save lives and taxpayer dollars.
