Healthcare

Healthcare should prioritize patients, not corporations or political agendas.~ Kevin McClellan

Healthcare Through Competition and Accountability

Healthcare was better and more affordable when providers had to compete. Competition drives innovation, improves service, and lowers prices. Today, government overregulation and consolidation have reduced choice and driven costs through the roof. Restoring real competition will force providers to deliver better care at fairer prices.

In many countries, people can buy basic antibiotics over the counter and see a doctor for $20–$40. In the U.S., the same visit costs five times more. Why? Because government interference, corporate consolidation, and price opacity have broken the market. Insurance was meant for emergencies, not routine care. Going to the doctor should be as easy as going to a mechanic.

My plan:

  • Nationwide catastrophic-only insurance

  • Direct Primary Care (DPC) monthly doctor memberships

  • Mandatory price transparency for all medical services

  • Cross-state medical licensing to increase competition

  • Walk-in diagnostic centers and 24-hour cash-pay clinics

  • Transparent surgery centers with bundled pricing

My body My choice

Vaccines should not be mandated by the government. Individuals and families must retain the right to make informed medical decisions without coercion. Pharmaceutical companies that have caused harm through unsafe products, misleading information, or unethical practices must be held fully accountable. Corporate immunity and regulatory capture have protected these companies at the expense of public health, harming entire generations.

Corruption

The opioid crisis is a direct result of corrupt relationships between drug companies and medical professionals. Pharmaceutical companies and doctors who operated pill mills fueled widespread addiction and devastated communities. Those responsible must face serious consequences, and the system that enabled profit-driven abuse must be dismantled.

Healthcare should prioritize patients—not corporations, political agendas, or unchecked profiteering.
Vaccines should not be mandated. Families deserve the right to make informed medical decisions. Pharmaceutical companies and corrupt doctors that caused harm—especially those tied to the opioid crisis—must be held fully accountable. Corporate immunity and regulatory capture must end.
