Healthcare

15% of Americans go without health insurance because of sky-high healthcare costs, an embarrassing statistic for the greatest country in the world. Some may argue for a national health-care plan, but Michael B. Younan proposes a new way forward that would grant every American basic levels of care while avoiding the perils of a national welfare state. The strength of our nation has always resided in the strength of the individuals that make up our country, and by empowering individuals we can provide health coverage for all. Expensive corporate health care accounts have long been out of reach for small and medium-sized enterprises; therefore, Michael B. Younan proposes health insurance groups that would unite these smaller companies under one health care plan. By uniting, these companies can provide affordable health insurance for their employees and maintain a healthy and productive workforce.

Additionally, Michael supports Senator McCain’s proposal that would allow Americans to hold pre-taxed earnings in flexible health savings accounts. These accounts would provide a way for citizens of our district to manage their healthcare costs and allow them a much greater choice in their healthcare coverage.

National supplemental health programs such as Medicare and Medicaid are grossly under-funded, and our nation’s most at-risk populations (the elderly and disabled) must navigate a complex bureaucracy to receive even basic benefits. If elected, Michael B. Younan will work with other members of Congress and the next President to fix our broken healthcare system and provide access to affordable care for all residents of our district.
