Health Care

Doug Pike understands America’s health care system, why it’s not working for everyone, and what we must do to fix it.

He has experienced our health care system from both sides: as a person watching relatives and friends struggle to pay their skyrocketing medical bills, and as chairman of the board for a hospital that worked to provide excellent care at affordable prices.  He has seen how our current system fails patients and care providers alike, and he knows it has to be fixed.

In Congress, Doug will champion quality, affordable health care for every American – including a strong public option that will create real competition and lower costs for families and businesses alike. He will fight to reduce waste by advocating for improved electronic record keeping, a greater focus on preventive care and better coverage for mental health care.

Doug is a staunch supporter of a woman’s right to choose.  He is also an advocate for increased funding for family planning services and organizations that support and promote adoption, to ensure that families can make the best, most informed decisions possible.
