HEALTH CARE AFFORDABILITY
As your next Congressman for Arizona’s Fourth Congressional District—serving Mesa, Ahwatukee, Tempe, Chandler, and communities across the East Valley—I am committed to health care that is affordable, understandable, and accessible. Our current system is burdened by federal overreach and the failures of Obamacare: too many families face high costs, narrow networks, surprise bills, and paperwork that seems designed to protect insiders—not patients. For too long, Washington has pushed government-heavy answers that prop up bureaucracies and insurance giants while the most vulnerable pay the price. I believe in a conservative approach: replace Obamacare with a competitive, patient-centered system that lowers costs, protects people with pre-existing conditions, and puts CD4 families back in control.
WHY “REPEAL AND REPLACE” FAILED LAST TIME—AND WHAT WE DO DIFFERENTLY
The biggest Republican mistake of the last decade was repeating “repeal and replace” without a replacement that could hold a governing majority. That is why Arizona Senator John McCain and others voted no—there was no consensus plan that made sense for Arizona families, not just a cable news segment.
Voters are tired of slogans. They want a plan that can pass, work, and survive contact with real life—especially for seniors, working parents, and anyone with a chronic condition.
MY PLAN FOR HEALTH CARE AFFORDABILITY
Expand Right to Try for Terminally Ill Patients
No one should be denied access to experimental treatments that could save their life. I will fight to strengthen and expand Right to Try—cutting federal roadblocks so terminally ill patients and their doctors can pursue cutting-edge options when time is short. I am in full support of President Donald Trump’s agenda on this issue: hope should be legal, and bureaucracy should not be the last word at the bedside.
Increase Price Transparency to Empower Consumers
Health care costs stay high when patients cannot see prices until after the fact. I will push federal policies that require real, upfront disclosure from hospitals, insurers, and drug companies—so families in Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, and Ahwatukee can compare options and providers can compete on value. Transparency drives competition, lowers costs, and returns power to patients—not Washington.
Replace Obamacare with a Competitive, Market-Driven System
Obamacare has failed Arizona—driving up premiums for many, limiting choices, and burying families in mandates and fine print. I will work to replace it with a market-based system that encourages real competition among insurers and providers, expands affordable options, and reduces the one-size-fits-all federal micromanagement that helped create the mess we have now. The goal is simple: a system that works for patients—not for bureaucrats.
Protect Those with Pre-Existing Conditions
No one should be denied access to coverage because of a pre-existing condition. I support reforms that protect those individuals while keeping coverage affordable through competition, risk stabilization where appropriate, and state flexibility—not endless mandates that raise premiums for everyone else. Compassion and fiscal sanity can coexist.
Safeguard the Most Vulnerable—Health-Wise and Economically
Our seniors, low-income families, and Americans with chronic illness deserve a safety net that works—not a conveyor belt into dependency. I will advocate for policies that strengthen Medicare’s sustainability, expand health savings accounts (HSAs), and use targeted tax credits and state flexibility so help reaches those who truly need it in CD4—without pretending socialism is the only way to show mercy.
Reduce Prescription Drug Costs
Drug prices are crushing families—from Ahwatukee retirees to Tempe parents. I support federal policies that accelerate generic competition, crack down on abuse and anti-competitive behavior, and open lawful pathways to lower costs—including safe importation where it protects patient safety—so relief hits the pharmacy counter, not just a campaign speech.
More Choices, Not Fewer—HSAs, Portability, and State Flexibility
We should expand choices, not narrow them: association health plans where appropriate, portability when people change jobs, and state innovation waivers that let Arizona pilot solutions without a distant agency running every detail. The point is to stop the slow migration of Americans from private options into a government-default system because the “market” we defend is rigged against the patient.
A CONSERVATIVE VISION FOR HEALTH CARE
For years, career politicians promised affordable health care through bigger government, more spending, and doubling down on Obamacare—yet costs keep rising and choices keep shrinking for too many Arizona families. I reject the idea that federal control or endless new programs will fix a system that Washington broke. As a conservative leader, I will fight for a health care future that empowers patients, delivers price transparency, replaces Obamacare with a competitive alternative, protects the vulnerable, and honors the dignity of every life—here in Mesa, Ahwatukee, Tempe, Chandler, and across America.
