Affordable Healthcare and Prescription Drugs

Comments off

One of the reasons Matt first ran for office was to protect and expand affordable healthcare for all northeastern Pennsylvanians. For far too many, rising premiums and prescription drug costs remain real financial burdens.  

Throughout his time in Congress, Matt has consistently fought to make healthcare more affordable, and to hold drug and insurance companies accountable. The cost of care is top of mind for Matt; he believes no one should have to choose between purchasing life-saving medications or buying groceries. That’s why he helped pass the Inflation Reduction Act. This landmark legislation brought down insurance premiums, capped insulin copays at $35 and limited out-of-pocket costs for seniors on Medicare. Importantly, it finally gave Medicare the power to negotiate drug prices, reining in Big Pharma and generating meaningful savings for Americans. 

Matt also believes that high-quality care should be accessible to everyone in northeastern Pennsylvania, regardless of their zip code. He’s helped keep rural community hospitals open by bringing new equipment and resources to these facilities and securing federal funding to recruit, train and retain providers. All communities deserve high-quality healthcare, and Matt will always fight to ensure that no one is left behind.

Healthcare is essential to the wellbeing of our families and communities. While Washington special interests and Big Pharma try to rip off working families, Matt is fighting to lower your healthcare costs and protect your access to quality care.
