We have to think differently about how we make it better for patients and caregivers, with a focus on lower costs, increased access, improved outcomes, and better-supported workers.
- Better Outcomes, Lower Costs: It starts with better public health, prevention, and transparency.
- Innovation: We’ll support innovations that lower drug prices and allow doctors to focus on patient health not paperwork, as well as better rural health solutions. These exist today – let’s put them to work.
- Ounce of Prevention: Let’s work to keep people out of the ER (Maine has twice the admissions per person as other states) by providing better preventative care and screenings.
- Care for Those Who Care for Us: Support more training for healthcare workers, including early exposure in grades 7-12.
