Reform Party on Health Care

Party Platform

Eliminate junk medical lawsuits; increase cost transparency

Care managed between doctor and patient means that we must remove barriers which prevent doctors and patients from making sound medical decisions.
Supports reduced cost and improving transparency
Supports elimination of junk medical lawsuits

Care managed between doctor and patient means that we must remove barriers which prevent doctors and patients from making sound medical decisions. It also means that patients must understand the true costs and benefits of medical services, and have transparency regarding the quality of care provided by doctors, nurses, and hospitals.

We believe there must be real comprehensive healthcare reform, which includes physician accountability, elimination of junk medical lawsuits, quality of care, reduced cost, and adequate coverage. Reducing healthcare costs is the first priority for making healthcare affordable for everyone.
