Retired pediatric neurosurgeon and potential 2016 presidential candidate Ben Carson has been very vocal about healthcare reform, for obvious reasons, and American Legacy PAC is looking for donations and petition signatures in order to “Save America” by restoring a conservative political landscape.
On the organization’s website, they highlight some of Carson’s perspectives with video clips of him speaking about what he believes needs to change moving forward.
For one, he believes our citizens should have more targeted solutions for healthcare that don’t include the IRS-mandated Obamacare strategy.
He also believes merging communication technology and medical science will save healthcare for the country.
Another recommended change is that governors and state legislators know more about how to provide care to their local citizens, so they should have more influence than officials at the capital.
A Deep-dive Into Specialty Pharma
A specialty drug is a class of prescription medications used to treat complex, chronic or rare medical conditions. Although this classification was originally intended to define the treatment of rare, also termed “orphan” diseases, affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the US, more recently, specialty drugs have emerged as the cornerstone of treatment for chronic and complex diseases such as cancer, autoimmune conditions, diabetes, hepatitis C, and HIV/AIDS.
A lot of things could change in the relatively near future, and it’s clear that Carson is willing to jump in with both feet as far as Obamacare repeal or reform is concerned. We shall see what happens.
