What is the greatest health care challenge facing Maryland today, and how do you plan to address it?

DRUG ABUSE , & SENIOR HEALTH CARE

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?

WHERE   EVER I AM NEEDED , I AM THERE TO HELP

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?

How would you increase availability of and access to health care for Marylanders?

COME TOGETHER AND BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER TO WORK ON IT TOGETHER

What policies will you pursue to improve health for all Marylanders? Please also consider the social determinants of health?

REDIFINE WHAT WE HAVE AND SEE WHAT WORKS AND WHAT DOES NOT WORK ,

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?

AGAIN TASK FORCE WORK TOGETHER ,

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?
