Quentin Anthony Anderson has been officially endorsed by the Committee to Protect Health Care as a Care for U.S. Candidate. This endorsement underscores Anderson’s commitment to addressing critical healthcare issues, including lowering healthcare costs, protecting the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and restoring access to reproductive health care.

The Committee to Protect Health Care, a national mobilization of over 20,000 medical providers and healthcare advocates, selected Anderson for his strong stance on healthcare reform and his dedication to ensuring that all Americans have access to quality, affordable healthcare.

Healthcare as a Pocketbook Issue

Anderson has made healthcare a central focus of his campaign, framing it as a crucial pocketbook issue for Louisiana families. “Health care costs continue to rise, and for most families, this is simply unsustainable,” Anderson stated. His platform includes advocating for the expansion of the Inflation Reduction Act’s provisions, which allow Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices and cap out-of-pocket costs for seniors.

Additionally, Anderson has voiced his support for the ACA, emphasizing the importance of protecting its provisions, such as preventing insurance companies from denying coverage to individuals with pre-existing conditions and ensuring that millions of Americans can access affordable healthcare through Medicaid and Marketplace plans.

Commitment to Reproductive Health and Freedom

In light of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, Anderson has committed to fighting for reproductive health and freedom. With a growing majority of Americans supporting the legality of abortion in all or most cases, Anderson has pledged to oppose any attempts to implement a national abortion ban and to restore and protect access to reproductive healthcare across the country.

“Reproductive health care is a fundamental right, and Louisiana women deserve a champion in Congress who won’t be uncomfortable or equivocal about defending that right,” Anderson said.

A Call for Bipartisan Solutions

Anderson’s endorsement by the Committee to Protect Health Care highlights his dedication to promoting bipartisan solutions in healthcare. He has voiced support for site-neutral payments, a policy that would ensure patients are charged the same amount for medical services, regardless of where they are provided. This policy aims to reduce healthcare costs by preventing large hospital systems from inflating prices when they acquire smaller physician practices.

Moving Forward

The Committee to Protect Health Care’s endorsement of Quentin Anderson as a Care for U.S. Candidate is a significant boost to his campaign, signaling strong support from the medical community. With healthcare at the forefront of his platform, Anderson continues to advocate for policies that prioritize the well-being of Louisiana families and all Americans.
