Improving Health Care

The rising costs of health care and insurance are unacceptable. More than 8 million children and 47 million adults have no access to health care insurance - we have to do better. Christine will work to bring affordable health care to all Americans by using tax incentives to give more small businesses the opportunity to provide their employees with health care, by creating an affordable prescription drug program, and by ensuring that Medicare Part D serves all our seniors. Additionally, she believes the government should have the ability to negotiate prices similar to the Veterans Administration, and the government must allow for the legal importation of prescription drugs in a safe and quality controlled manner. Christine will also be a leader in the fight for stem cell research, providing hope for the millions of Americans suffering from diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and diabetes.
