HEALTHCARE PLAN

This is an essential issue and my focus is on Healing the State and People as we move out of this pandemic. We need to provide COVID relief and access to healthcare to all. Especially ensure access to quality, affordable healthcare to people of color, the elderly, the disabled, the poor, as well as vulnerable communities, such as the homeless. I also plan to introduce legislation to provide doctors a tax break, for those who accept Medicare, Medicaid and Quest patients. I would like to introduce taxpayer saving measures such as using the VA’s healthcare and drug cost program as a blueprint for Hawaii to follow. This policy would save our state millions of dollars and lower the costs of both healthcare and drug costs.
