American families should be able to make their own decisions regarding their health care. Policies that encourage decisions made by patients and doctors instead of Washington bureaucratic fiat, and more choice empowering individuals with a variety of affordable options to suit somebody's specific needs, would expand access and affordability for all patients.  Especially with this pandemic, billions of dollars have been approved to help our frontline health care workers with resources and personal protective equipment, and emergency spending has helped to ensure that Americans can get access to COVID-19 testing, treatments, and now a vaccine. 

With more funding constraints in the short and long terms, we must ensure that the Medicare program can continue to deliver for older Americans who depend on it, ensuring they have access and choices to receive the health care they need, including lower prescription drug costs and affordable premiums for Medicare health plan options.
