What is the greatest health care challenge facing Maryland today, and how do you plan to address it?
Insurance industry and government have wrecked free market principles of healthcare.
Maryland’s hospitals operate under a unique contract with the federal government that promotes community, equity, and value. It also contributes significantly to Maryland's economy. How do you plan to support the continued success of the Maryland Model?
Have not studied the issue to make a judgment call.
Maryland is experiencing a shortage of health care practitioners, especially nurses, that we project will worsen in the years ahead. How do you plan to address the immediate crisis and what will you do to make sure we have a robust and sustainable health care workforce pipeline?
Eliminate the fake vaccine and mask mandates. Anyone with a high school biology education knows it is a fraud and did zero to stop covid. It did however reduce employees.
How would you increase availability of and access to health care for Marylanders?
Less government involvement.
What policies will you pursue to improve health for all Marylanders? Please also consider the social determinants of health?
Encourage diet, exercise, fluid intake and daily vitamins.
Discourage tobacco and alcohol, which are the leading causes of health issues.
Health crisis has zero to do with availability of health care or insurance and everything to do with ignorance and bad life styles.
How do you plan to address consumers' growing exposure to health care costs, such as high deductible health plans and rising prescription drug prices in Maryland?
Less government and more free market economics.
Maryland’s worsening medical liability climate, as noted in a recent independent report, threatens access to, and affordability of, health care services in Maryland. Plaintiffs’ attorneys typically take 40% of a medical malpractice judgment. Do you support limiting attorneys’ fees so that the affected individuals can receive more of their settlement or judgment? What additional reforms would you support that balance supporting individuals and families harmed by medical malpractice with ensuring continued access to services in a community?
Limiting fees is not going to solve anything, but looks good for politicians that don't understand economics.
What are your priorities should you be elected, not confined to health care?
Outlaw commissioner government to free up the General Assemblies agenda from local only legislation.Amend the state constitution to create a citizen redistricting convention every ten years to draw the legislative boundaries.
