“Access to quality, affordable health care for every American is long overdue. The Affordable Care Act will bring peace of mind to millions of working Americans and their families, take decisions about health care coverage out of the hands of insurance companies, expand cost effective preventive services, and improve health care coverage for seniors.”
Congressman Welch:
- Expanded nationwide a pioneering Vermont health care model that rewards health care providers for improved patient outcomes rather than the number of procedures performed;
- Introduced legislation to save taxpayers and seniors $160 billion through the negotiation of lower prescription drug prices for Medicare recipients;
- Strongly supports a woman’s right to choose and access to preventive health care services for women; and
- Founded the bipartisan Affordable Medicines Caucus, a coalition of House members working to lower prescription drug prices.
