Policy Priorities
Health & Wellbeing
- Support the efforts of the Make American Health Again (MAHA) movement to ensure transparency in labeling so that what Americans eat, what we inject, and what we place on our bodies is free from harmful ingredients and undesirable biological materials.
- Support increased funding of mental health services.
- Investigate the impacts of mental illness on national interests and public safety. Fund necessary facilities and programs (including mental health occupational therapy and community health workers).
- Investigate the appropriate implementation of "trauma-informed practices" to balance personal accountability for poor behavior with societal compassion for instability in the household/community.
- Address childhood sexual abuse and human trafficking as a public health crisis. Support the wellbeing and resilience of survivors. Encourage rehabilitative interventions plus consistent and severe consequences for perpetrators.
- Support pay-for-performance in health care.
- Continue to fight for Americans of all ages and ability levels to receive quality healthcare in a way that increases choice, secures personal ownership of insurance policies, facilitates investment in wellness, moves toward pay-for-performance, and doesn’t bankrupt households nor our federal budget.
- • Sixty-two percent of Americans support the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA should be refined and problems corrected in a way that expands choice and drives competition to lower prices and improve fit between consumer and available options.
- • Reinstate quality short-term, limited-duration insurance plans for those who want them
- • Expansion of tax-free health-savings accounts (HSAs) for all Americans, and
- • Medical savings accounts (MSAs) for older adults.
- Investigate the influence of pay differentials on health care treatment protocols (e.g., use of ventilators during COVID-19) and prescription drug recommendations. Health care providers must be enabled to choose interventions based on the best interests of their patients without undue conflicts of interest.
