The United States is the most developed nation in the world, yet we're one of a few top 50 countries where citizens face significant financial limitations in accessing quality care.
MARQUETTE, Mich – Dr. Bob Lorinser believes all people must have access to the health services they need, when and where they need them, without financial hardship.
Dr. Bob will champion initiatives that provide United States citizens the full range of essential health services they deserve – from health promotion to prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, mental health, and palliative care.
Protecting people from the financial consequences of paying out-of-pocket for health services reduces the risk of poverty due to unexpected illness.
Often, hospitalization and essential life-saving medicine require citizens to use their life savings, sell assets, or borrow – destroying their futures and sometimes burdening their children with massive amounts of debt.
In Congress, Dr. Bob Lorinser will create a publicly financed, non-profit national health insurance program to fully cover medical care costs for all Americans.
