Issues: Medicare

Medicare is a promise we make to our seniors. In Washington, I’ll make sure our lawmakers keep that promise. My job as your representative is to strengthen the current Medicare system, not weaken it.

I also support reforms that will make Medicare dollars go farther. By pursuing tort reform and limiting frivolous lawsuits, the federal government can drive down the cost of health care and increase the quality and availability of medical services for all Americans. I will continue to work with Members of Congress to reform a legal system that chooses to support the interests of trial lawyers over those of doctors and their patients.
