There is a serious health care crisis in the country and Congress must make needs to make health care more accessible and affordable for all Americans. Over 43 million Americans are uninsured. Prescription drug costs are increasing dramatically.

While in Congress, I pledge the following:

• Voting to make health care premiums 100% deductible and to create new tax breaks for elderly home care and dependent care.
• Supporting a strong Patients Bill of Rights.   
• Support reimportation of cheaper prescription drugs from Canada and other countries.
• Fighting frivolous lawsuits that are driving doctors out of business and increasing costs for patients.
