Etheridge for Congress 2004
Healthcare

“Healthcare for families shouldn't break the bank!”

– Congressman Bob Etheridge

Bob Etheridge knows that healthcare and prescription drugs are becoming too expensive for many North Carolina families. That's why Congressman Etheridge supports common sense healthcare solutions that can make a real difference for North Carolina families and senior citizens:

•  Fighting for a real Patients Bill of Rights that will ensure that medical decisions are made by a doctor, not an insurance company bureaucrat

•  Working to provide seniors with a real prescription medicine benefit that is voluntary, affordable, available to all seniors regardless of their income level, and cost-capped to protect seniors from unexpected catastrophic events

•  Cosponsored the Nursing Revitalization Act for recruiting, training, and retention of nurses

•  Supports tax credits to help small businesses provide employee healthcare.
