“If elected, lowering healthcare costs for families would be one of my core priorities. I believe several reforms are necessary:
- Reducing the role of middlemen that drive up healthcare costs without improving care
- Increasing transparency so families know the cost of care before they receive it
- Strengthening protections against catastrophic medical debt
- Preserving and strengthening Medicare and Medicaid for medically fragile individuals and people with disabilities
- Supporting programs like New Jersey’s Catastrophic Illness Relief Fund that provide real help to families facing extraordinary circumstancesHealthcare should be about caring for people, not navigating a financial maze. Families dealing with serious illness should be focused on healing and supporting their loved ones—not worrying about bankruptcy or fighting administrative systems.
No American family should be grieving a loved one while also fighting the healthcare system or worrying about losing their home because someone needed care.”
