Issues: Health and Health Care

Families and seniors shouldn't have to choose between putting food on the table and paying skyrocketing prices for prescription drugs they or their children need to survive.
Lowering prescription drug prices is essential.

Any measure we take, such as capping out-of-pocket costs and improving prescription drug price transparency, should be designed to lower costs for all payers and benefit all Hoosiers.

Indiana's senior population 65 and older will increase from 14.6% in 2015 to 20.7% in 2035, with all other age groups declining in population. We must prepare now by attracting healthcare professionals and increasing memory care facilities statewide to provide proper care for our aging generation.

​Investing in medical research facilities, such as
​IUSM-SB/ND in South Bend, is a positive step.
