Health Freedom
Health Freedom is my number one issue in life.
Like many, my family and I have been affected by serious health issues and tragedies. Our healthcare system is completely broken without any oversight and accountability.
​
While on the Hill, I had the high privilege of working on health issues, fighting for reforms, lowering perscription drug costs, advancing research to cure diseases and cancer, and supporting patients and all those affected by serious health issues. I worked on global health programs in the State, Foreign Operations, and Programs appropriations, focusing on access to maternity and childhood care in the developing world, as well as surgery and assistance for vulnerable children with health issues.
It is critically important we get this right and always create hope for those affected.
The following are top priorities:
​
-
Complete congressional overhaul of our healthcare system, guaranteeing oversight and accountability of federal health agencies, outside agencies, laboratories, federal funding, campaigns, and programs, the WHO, Gain-of-Function research and One Health policies.
​
-
Ensure accountability, bioethics, scientific integrity, and informed consent in public health, medical practice, and research.
​
-
Advance care, medical science, recognition, and justice of pharmaceutical product injuries, disabilities, and death and support adverse reaction prevention efforts.
​
-
Develop multi-disciplinary approaches, jurisdictions, balance test mechanisms for emergency preparedness, responses, and broadcasts policies.
​
-
Improve pharmaceutical safety science, studies, pre-licensing, surveillance, biovigilance, reporting, protections, products, and practices;
​
-
Reducing costs and prescription drug prices, and focusing on quality patient-centered healthcare, and letting doctors be doctors.
​
-
Advancing programs for patients with diseases, disabilities, learning disorders, addictions, and mental illness.
​
-
Ensuring children and senior medical care access and rights.
​
-
Independent Scientific Research.
