I think we need a lot less ideology around health care.
Child care should be convenient, affordable, and available in every neighborhood.
We implicitly or explicitly ration health care no matter what we do.
Let me be clear - I want all Louisiana citizens to have choice - including the elderly and persons with disabilities - and their families - who rely on the state for their care.
We need more access to quality health care, not less.
While we can never truly repay the debt we owe our heroes, the least we should do for our brave veterans is to ensure that the government takes a proactive approach to delivering the services and benefits they have earned, so they can access the care they need and so richly deserve.
We need to make sure our veterans have health care not just when they come home but throughout their lives.
In turn, more physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers are severely limiting their practices, moving to other states, or simply not providing care.
Now you'll have to wait for hours in line for medical care instead of immediately not getting any.
An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia.
We have to help people with their expenses of their health care, their access to their health care, and certainly for the actual care that they receive.
