Congresswoman Jenkins meeting with Doctors and Staff at Atchison Hospital

I am working in Congress to ensure that nothing stands between you and your doctor.

There is no doubt we have a health care crisis on our hands.  We can either empower individuals or hand those decisions over to government bureaucrats and politicians.  I am confident we can fix our health care problems by weeding out waste, fraud, and abuse to bring down costs while still offering affordable health care.  It is my priority to ensure your health care remains in your hands, not the government’s.

Meeting the health needs of this nation is a priority for the Administration and for all of us in Congress.  While I support reforms that would bring down costs for families and address the issue of pre-existing conditions, I could not support the health care reform signed into law by President Obama that cuts Medicare, raises taxes and will result in higher premiums for the American people.  

The Ways and Means committee has jurisdiction over entitlement programs including Medicare.  Additionally, the committee is responsible for overseeing the implementation and reforms to the new federal health care law which was enacted in March of 2010.  As a member of this committee, I look forward to playing a key role in the replacement of this package with true, responsible, cost-effective reforms to our health care system.
