Health Care
We, the undersigned, support the concept of universal access to affordable health care in Hawaii. To advance this agenda we call on our health care providers, insurers and elected public officials to work together to maintain access by:
- Providing immediate financing mechanism(s) to keep our public and private hospitals solvent and open.
- Reasonably increasing the level of reimbursement to health care providers for Medicaid and Quest patients.
- Working with our Congressional delegation, State and Federal Administration to raise the level of Medicare reimbursement.
- Easing the pressure on acute care hospital beds and recognizing family care givers by providing a $1,000 refundable tax credit.
