Health Care
My office is proud to offer assistance to constituents struggling with their health care related hardships. However, it is important to understand that we are a government office and cannot make medical decisions such as providing prescriptions or overriding a doctor’s decision and in some cases our office may require a letter from your treating doctor before we can pursue your request for health care assistance. However, we are happy to assist with health insurance difficulties including denials, quality of care issues, assistance with exorbitant medical bills and drug shortage situations.
Please understand that I cannot enroll you onto a health insurance program. I encourage you to visit http://www.healthcare.gov, an easy-to-use resource to help you find a suitable and affordable health insurance option. The healthcare.gov website also contains valuable information on the Affordable Health Care Act and various resources pertaining to making health care more affordable and accessible for you.

Please allow up to two weeks from the time we receive your privacy release for my office to contact you.
If this is a medical emergency, please consult your doctor and medical provider before contacting my office.
