Healthcare

High quality healthcare should be affordable, accessible and provide Americans with a choice of doctors and plans. We'll work to keep drug prices low and expand options for all Floridians, including those enrolled in Medicare. With over 3.5 million Floridians enrolled in some form of Medicare prescription drug coverage, it is my mission to fight the harmful effects of the ACA and to reform prescription drug standards.
