Further, while millions of seniors depend on Medicare, Dr. Price continues his campaign to end the Medicare guarantee by turning it into a voucher program. “If Dr. Price is going to defend the health and wellbeing of America’s citizens, he needs to abandon these destructive policies and, instead, work with Democrats to protect Medicare; lower prescription drug costs; ensure every citizen access to affordable health insurance; and defend a women’s right to make her own health decisions—without incurring unreasonable costs or hurdles.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
