Health Care
Carly believes strongly that every American should have access to quality, affordable health care. Through her own experiences, she has seen both the good and the bad of our nation’s health care system, and it has given her a very keen perspective on what we can do to better connect doctors and increase quality, while also lowering costs. In particular, Carly believes it’s essential that decisions about care stay in the hands of patients, their families and their doctors. The decisions a patient must make are complicated, and the right decision for one patient may be different than the right decision for another. Unfortunately, the bill making its way through Congress right now does not accomplish this and will come at a significant cost to taxpayers. Carly also recognizes that, when trying to tackle tough and complicated problems, the most effective strategy is to start by taking clear steps that we know will make a difference now. For example, medical malpractice reform, increasing accessibility to community clinics and encouraging competition in the health insurance market can all help reduce health care costs without sacrificing quality. |
