Health and Medicare

Bob believes everyone in the United States deserves access to affordable healthcare! Doctors and other health professionals--not administrators or government officials--must be in charge of our health care. That is why Bob has been fighting for meaningful and managed health care reform. 

Healthcare Reform

Millions of Americans lack health insurance. Bob is a strong supporter of healthcare reform that will provide comprehensive, accessible and affordable healthcare for all Americans.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act expands coverage to the millions of Americans currently without health insurance, improves existing coverage and lowers healthcare costs for Americans and American businesses.

Research & Development

Bob is an avid supporter of increasing funding for research of diseases such as diabetes, autism and cancer. He will continue to work with his colleagues to increase funding to government agencies in order to find cures for these growing epidemics.

Public Health

Health is also more than just care--it is often prevention. By working with local officials, Bob has been showcasing many public health works in our district, such as adult day health care, children’s nutritional programs and community health care outreach. Bob knows these cost-effective programs are crucial steps to keeping our communities happy and healthy.
