Health

I believe in a better health care future for all New Jerseyans. Our health care system must provide quality service and be affordable to every American and I remain determined to provide real solutions to the challenges facing families that include medical innovation, patient-centered care, increased access to care, enhance transparency, and affordable access. Families must have the ability to make medical decisions for themselves based on what best fits their needs, wants, and budget. Patients and providers should be in control of their own health care decisions.

The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the importance of focusing on public health, and the need to fix our health care system. There are common sense initiatives in the health care space that both sides of the aisle can agree on, such as, providing insurance coverage to those with pre0existing conditions, allow younger people or dependents to stay on a parent or guardian’s plan, and eliminate lifetime caps for insurance coverage. We also need to expand telemedicine and ensure the reimbursement rate is the same as in-person services. It is also critical that our system is transparent with the health care and prescription drug market and must end surprise billing.

Additionally, any reform must include plans for lowering drug prices and increasing access to effective and innovative medical treatments. We can do that by brining manufacturing to our shores instead of relying on China and India for pharmaceuticals. New Jersey is the “medicine cabinet” of the world, creating and innovating new and effective medical treatments and devices. I will remain focused on common-sense solutions that work to promote medical innovation that is patient-centered and provides quality and affordable services to all Americans.
