Healthcare

High

James Scott supports Medicare For All and co-sponsored related legislation like the Affordable Insulin Now Act, the Medicare Dental, Vision, and Hearing Benefit Act, and the COVER Now Act to expand Medicaid. He advocates for a 'HEALTH TRANSFORMATION INITIATIVE' focused on reducing healthcare costs and bureaucracy. His stated goal is to put patients in control, ensure access to affordable care, and address issues like long wait times and pre-authorization requirements.
