1.

Redefine healthcare into well-care and sick-care. Proper insurance to cover diverse choices of how an individual may choose to support themselves.

2.

Implement a system that encourages thriving through incentives for doctors to help their patients be well and patients to choose wisely to support their health.

3.

The patient is the center of all healthcare, which requires an integrative approach of practitioners working together to create the best plan of care for the patient.

4.

Establish an equal playing field approach to healthcare. There are no complimentary/alternative therapies. All healthcare choices are needed and play an important part.

5.

Address our population's dependence on prescription medications and for those needing prescription medicines, imposing caps to limit cost.

6.

We need healthcare that is affordable and covers a wide array of choices. I see a free system that provides necessary services, with options for private insurance beyond what is offered with the free coverage. We don’t have to raise taxes to do this.

7.

Carry forward my work that I have done with states by making sure HR6 (passed by President Trump in October) is implemented to bring better insurance coverage and choices for pain management, with emphasis on a least invasive approach first.

8.

Bring back humanity and compassion to healthcare.

9.

Price transparency and caps for hospital charges.

10.

Under no circumstances does our government have the right to practice medicine by making mandatory directives on what is injected into, procedures done or limit choice with regard to our bodies.

11.

Enforce transparent informed consent.

12.

Provide our veterans better access to all forms of healthcare, emphasizing well-care. Insure and expand insurance coverage to include these choices. Implement healthy ways for our veterans to heal from PTSD and drug addictions.

13.

Restructure reach and purpose of middle man businesses, like pharmacy benefit managers, with insurance companies.

14.

Include options for providers to lessen their load of seeing too many patients in a day, at the expense of the patient and the doctor. Bring back the joy of practicing and not meeting a quota.

I believe in implementing the World Health Organization's definition of health as stated in their Constitution, with changes in italics:

​

  • Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. (Currently not our marketed definition of health. Everything is about disease and treating symptoms.)

  • The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition. (Currently not being implemented.)
     

  • The health of all peoples is fundamental to the attainment of peace and security and is dependent on the fullest co-operation of individuals and States. (Currently not being implemented with their definition of health.)

  • The achievement of any State in the promotion and protection of health is of value to all. (Currently not being implemented with their definition of health.)

  • Unequal development in different countries in the promotion of health and control of diseases, especially communicable disease, is a common danger. ( I would add that countries who do not help their people thrive contribute to this danger. Many communicable diseases can be lessened with clean air, water and food. Proper living environments that promote clean living are imperative.)

  • Healthy development of the child is of basic importance; the ability to live harmoniously in a changing total environment is essential to such development. (Currently not being implemented.)

  • The extension to all peoples of the benefits of medical, psychological and related knowledge is essential to the fullest attainment of health. (I would  redefine this to include their statement of health above. Health is not purely based on medical, psychological and/or what is known/mainstream.)

  • Informed opinion and active co-operation on the part of the public are of the utmost importance in the improvement of the health of the people. (Currently not being implemented. There are many medical mandates being pushed currently which do not include all people nor informed consent.)

  • Governments have a responsibility for the health of their peoples which can be fulfilled only by the provision of adequate health and social measures. (I believe governments have a responsibility to help people thrive by the provision of health and social measures that reflect the definition of health stated above.)
