Health Care
During her tenure in the House, Ginny has taken a leadership role on healthcare issues. Florida's 5th District is home to nearly 200,000 Medicare recipients, the most of any Member of  Congress. Ginny has worked to ensure that her constituents receive the quality health care that they deserve.
Ginny has also supported and drafted legislation to reform our nation’s medical liability system. She recognizes the strain that frivolous lawsuits place on the quality and availability of healthcare in this country. As the Co-Chair of the Medical Malpractice Task Force, Ginny supported reforms to the medical liability system in this country that placed a $250,000 cap on non-economic damages and called for the implementation of a set of standards to make the medical liability system more fair and reliable.
Additionally, Ginny is fighting in Congress for affordable health care, and is working tirelessly to find an answer to the rising cost of prescription drugs. Today, because of Ginny's efforts and the other Members of the House, every senior in American has access to Medicare Prescription Drug coverage. Republicans in Congress have brought relief to our seniors by offering a first ever prescription drug benefit under Medicare while letting them choose a plan that best meets their individual needs.
