Policy Agenda

Over the decades, government control of healthcare has resulted in higher prices, longer wait times, and a decreasing quality of care. Americans for Prosperity believe the solution to the growing healthcare crisis is to grow the number of accesses to healthcare services. That means expanding the scope of practice for non-physician providers, removing barriers on optometrists, physician assistants, and pharmacists, and allowing more short-term personal option healthcare plans. It also means stopping Medicaid expansion; as the program would cost the state billions, would raise healthcare costs, and would restrict access to Kansans who need care most.
