Healthcare

45 Million Americans lack access to healthcare and insurance. This number is growing daily. Access to quality, affordable healthcare for all Americans is a moral and fiscal requirement.   

Universal Healthcare

Many argue that a Universal Healthcare will lead the fight for a new, constructive dialogue to solve America’s healthcare crisis. However, when we look at our neighbor Canada, we see the struggles that encompass the Universal Healthcare system. Patients wait for months to have surgery, doctors and staff members do not get paid to their potential, and poor staffing issues are just a few of the handicaps of the system.  This is not a problem we can afford to incur.

A solution would be to further expand the use of Medical Savings Accounts and to integrate small businesses to larger groups to share costs and enjoy discounts provided by Group Insurance Plans. 

Grouping small businesses would definitely allow for more low cost insurance premiums.  This would take most of the pressure and burden off of small businesses to be able to insure their employees. 

Bringing costs under control is the only way to stop the erosion of affordable health insurance, save Medicare and Medicaid, protect private health benefits for retirees, and allow our companies to effectively compete around the world.

Families should be in charge of their health care dollars and have more control over their care. We can improve health and spend less, while promoting competition on the cost and quality of care, taking better care of our citizens with chronic illness, and promoting prevention that will keep millions of others from ever developing deadly and debilitating disease.

While we reform the system and maintain quality, we can and must provide access to health care for all our citizens - whether temporarily or chronically uninsured, whether living in rural areas with limited services, or whether residing in inner cities where access to physicians is often limited.

Malpractice Insurance Cost

Because of high premiums on malpractice insurance, many renown doctors have fled the district to practice in other states.  This has driven our economy down and has caused continuity of care to decline.  We must find a way to contain malpractice insurance costs as it will ease the transitioning process into Universal Healthcare.

Combating Autism in America

As Congressman, Michael Younan will work to advance federal research into autism, promote early screening, and identify better treatment options, while providing support for children with autism so that they may reach their full potential.
