Healthcare

Healthcare costs rose 7.1% in 2025. Last year (2024) was even higher! As a finance/accounting professional for 30+ years, I know that healthcare costs drive everyday decision-making of all Utahns.

Rising premiums are a burden we must address - reducing healthcare premiums isn’t just a financial win for families—it’s an investment in a healthier, more productive workforce and a more resilient Utah economy
 

High prescription drug costs hurt families. I advocate efforts that will lower prescription drug costs, which rose 9-11%. Doing this is essential to ensuring people can access the medications they depend on to stay healthy, productive, and fully engaged in their communities. I am particularly mindful of those on fixed incomes who struggle to manage rising Medicare costs
 

Social service cuts which hurt Utah families should be fought. This includes federal matching funds which support Medicaid premiums, co-pays, and state-level healthcare costs from rising, protection of hospital funding, and targeted interventions to reduce high medical prices, particularly prescriptions
