healthcare-bannerSenator Warner believes we need comprehensive health care reform to achieve a competitive, cost-effective, and more efficient system. This effort should primarily be focused on ensuring that all Americans have access to adequate health coverage, and the coverage must be affordable and based upon data-driven medical standards. We must ensure that competition remains among health care providers because it is precisely that competition that drives innovation and reduces cost. Senator Warner believes any final reform also should include measures to promote prevention and wellness, help seniors navigate the health system, and expand the use of health information technology and telemedicine.
