Healthcare Remove CMS restrictions on the number of MA plans per county and eliminate barriers to entry and marketing based on projected losses or market concentration. Immigration That is why, when elected, I will sponsor the Secure Borders and Felony Enforcement Act of 2027. This bill would give federal immigration law real teeth by classifying unlawful entry and visa fraud as felonies with immediate deportation and permanent bar, while providing compassionate waivers for visa overstays in hardship cases. It would end sanctuary status outright: any state or local policy that shields felony immigration violators from federal enforcement would be preempted, and officials who knowingly implement such policies would face federal harboring charges. No exceptions, no funding games—just enforcement of federal law as the Framers intended. Immigration Protesters are causing mayhem, not the ICE Agents that are doing their legal duty to protect the United States against ALL Enemies Foreign and Domestic. Healthcare Require all health insurance plans—including private group and individual plans, marketplace plans, Medicare Advantage (Part C), Original Medicare (via Parts A and B for related services), Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, and Medicare Supplement (Medigap) policies—to cover evidence-based natural and holistic treatments—like natural desiccated thyroid—on equal terms with synthetics (no higher copays, no unnecessary prior authorizations or hurdles). Healthcare Make plans portable across counties so retirees can keep seeing their doctors even if they live in Linn County and receive care in Marion County. Government Reform No one can serve more than 12 years combined in the House of Representatives and the Senate (lifetime limit). Healthcare Completely eliminate late enrollment penalties for Parts B and D—no more lifelong financial punishments. Healthcare Require annual public reports on fund flows and independent audits for insurers receiving more than 250 million annually, with a 10% cap on administrative expenses. Healthcare Recognize licensed naturopathic doctors as eligible providers under Medicare Part B (for outpatient services such as consultations, preventive care, and therapies within their state-licensed scope), enabling them to act as primary care providers (PCPs) in state-licensed settings with fair coverage, reimbursement, and billing parity comparable to other primary care physicians. Medicare Supplement policies will provide corresponding cost-sharing parity for any covered Part B services furnished by NDs. Healthcare When elected to Congress, I'll introduce the Natural Treatment and Naturopathic Parity Act in the 120th Congress (starting 2027) to deliver these changes nationwide.
