Issue Position: A voice for Healthcare

Issue Position

Many of the problems in healthcare are created at the federal level. But Jon has used his healthcare expertise to improve things where he can on the state level with common sense solutions.
For example, Jon carried the bill permitting the use of cannabinoid oils in Oklahoma. The new law allows patients with legitimate medical needs to access cannabinoid treatment, but without opening Pandora's Box for potential abuse thru recreational drug use.
Jon has also spoken out on healthcare programs that are not achieving their intended aims, like the 340B drug program. Under 340B, the federal government provides rebates for prescriptions to low-income patients, but those rebates are being siphoned off by medical providers and not actually reaching patients' pockets.
