There must be protections for people with pre-existing conditions, we must take care of our seniors and protect Medicare, and young adults should be allowed to stay on their parents’ plan up to the age of 26. In order to lower costs, we need more competition, including allowing individuals and families to buy health insurance across state lines. The government can and should renegotiate drug prices to lower the high cost of medications.

Commits to a package of healthcare protections and cost-lowering measures.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Salazar made concrete legislative efforts related to the promise, including cosponsoring an ACA affordability bill and a Medicare-related bill. However, the cited measures remained introduced or in committee and were not enacted, and the evidence does not show that the promised package of protections and lower-cost health insurance options was delivered. Under the rule for serious attempts that fail to deliver the promised outcome, this is classified as never with an effort badge.
