“Lower insurance premiums and cap excessive insurance company profits.”

“Ohioans deserve a senator who will lower costs. That’s why, in the Senate, I’ll fine insurance companies for wrongly denying claims and make it illegal for drug companies to charge more in America than they do overseas for the same medicine.”

“Ohioans shouldn’t have to choose between paying for health care or groceries, and I’ll fight to ensure all families have access to affordable care.”

“Roy Cooper would lower health care costs by making sure that doctors make decisions about your health care, not insurance companies. Roy will work to reverse the Affordable Care Act tax credit expiration and cuts to Medicaid that have driven up health care costs for everyone; and put patient care first at hospitals. He’d also cap annual out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs, and require Medicare to broaden negotiations with drug makers to make medicines more affordable.”

“Reverse cuts that leave people without health insurance or unable to afford the coverage they have. North Carolina saw the largest drop of any state in Affordable Care Act enrollment. Reinstate the ACA tax credits and reverse Medicaid cuts. This will help lower costs for everyone’s premiums, including people who get their health insurance through an employer.”

“Prevent medical debt by mandating hospitals auto-enroll in charity care, lowering drug and medical costs for all.”

“In North Carolina we actually brought Democrats and Republicans together to make health care more affordable and accessible, and I’ll bring that same common sense to the U.S. Senate so that we can get real results for people just trying to get by.”

“Roy has been laser-focused on lowering health care costs for North Carolinians. In 2023, he assembled a bipartisan coalition to expand Medicaid for hundreds of thousands of working North Carolinians, lowering costs for everyone. Nearly 715,000 people are now covered because of Medicaid expansion. Medicaid expansion also provided a lifeline for rural communities, bringing an influx of critical federal funding to help keep rural hospitals and emergency rooms open. Roy also created a first-in-the-nation solution to help relieve more than $6.5 billion in medical debt for over 2.5 million North Carolinians, many of whom are in debt because insurance companies refused to pay legitimate medical bills, and to prevent this debt from accruing in the future.”

It includes a commitment to more affordable housing and healthcare, creating a national program to help workers find union jobs, guaranteed low-cost childcare, and 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave – achievable by taxing the ultra-wealthy and eliminating big money in our politics.”

“End all cost-sharing. Premiums, deductibles, and co-pays are eliminated for Medicare beneficiaries. The program provides first-dollar coverage. No senior should be rationing medication or avoiding care because of a deductible.”

“Close the gap. The supplemental insurance market for Medicare forces seniors to pay an additional $2,000 per year in premiums. It’s a direct consequence of Medicare’s coverage gaps. Comprehensive coverage makes it unnecessary. Eliminating it removes an entire cost burden from seniors on fixed incomes.”

“Dr. Abdul El-Sayed wrote the book on Medicare for All and will fight to guarantee affordable healthcare for every single American.”
