Healthcare

Reason. Work. Freedom.

Healthcare should not be confusing.
It should not be political.
And it should never threaten a family’s financial future.

My approach to healthcare reform is guided by three principles:

Reason — data-driven cost control and measurable outcomes.
Work — strengthening providers and the healthcare workforce.
Freedom — care without financial fear or bureaucratic surprise.

The Healthcare Transparency & Accountability Act

(My Marquee Proposal)

Before any scheduled, non-emergency medical procedure, patients should know:

• The total cost of care
• What insurance will cover
• What they will personally owe
• Lower-cost alternatives available in their area

No family should learn the price of care after it is too late to choose.

If airlines, hotels, and retailers can show prices upfront, healthcare should too.

Transparency restores competition.
Competition lowers costs.
Lower costs restore trust.

This is practical reform — not partisan reform.

My Standard for Every Healthcare Vote

I will support reforms only if they:

• Lower total healthcare costs — not just shift them
• Increase pricing transparency before treatment
• Strengthen primary care and preventive care
• Protect Medicare for today’s seniors and future retirees
• Reduce administrative waste that drives up premiums

Healthcare policy should be judged on outcomes, not ideology.

Protecting Seniors & Working Families

Medicare must remain stable and sustainable.

We cannot allow reckless spending to threaten retirement security.
We also cannot allow political games to destabilize programs seniors rely on.

For working families, surprise billing and unpredictable pricing must end.

Healthcare should be affordable.
It should be predictable.
It should be accountable.

Strengthening the Healthcare Workforce

Healthcare reform must support the people who deliver care:

• Expand workforce training and apprenticeships in healthcare fields
• Reduce regulatory burdens that do not improve patient outcomes
• Improve reimbursement stability for primary care providers

A strong workforce improves access, quality, and long-term system stability.

What I Will Not Support

I will not support:

• Ideological healthcare experiments from either party
• Massive expansions without cost discipline
• Cost-cutting that reduces access or quality
• Political interference in medical decision-making

Every proposal will be judged on one question:

Does it lower costs and improve outcomes for Ohio families?

The Goal

Healthcare should not bankrupt a family.
It should not require a law degree to understand a bill.
And it should not be a partisan battlefield.

It should work.

That is what I will fight for in Congress.

Reason. Work. Freedom.
