Americans deserve healthcare system that will ensure health care coverage for all

Last week when touring Oak Hill Hospital in Brooksville, I had the opportunity to discuss health care with doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and med students and receive feedback on America’s healthcare system. They all agreed on one thing: Americans deserve a healthcare system that will ensure health care coverage for all.
Healthcare driven by consumer choice that puts the patient-doctor relationship at the forefront offers a wider range of affordable healthcare options while preserving the quality of care that Americans deserve. Americans deserve better than the Affordable Care Act. Americans deserve a healthcare system that provides them with the care they need, from the doctor they choose, at a price they can afford.

Learning more about the work of local business leaders and their employees and hearing how the federal government is streamlining and obstructing their work helps me be a better representative in Congress. It was great to be at the Cemex plant in Bushnell this morning and learn more about their contributions to the economic development of our local communities. Every day they make over 9,000 concrete blocks, enough to build 4 homes, with cement from local quarries.

On Thursday, I was honored to be a guest at the August meeting of the Red Tail Memorial Chapter 136 of the Air Force Association where I discussed what Congress has done so far in 2017. We have passed VA reforms and stronger investments in military and we are working hard to expand and streamline infrastructure projects.
