Tom's Plan:
Access Affordable Healthcare
Tom's Plan:
Access Affordable Healthcare
Healthcare is too expensive and too hard to reach, especially in rural Alaska. No Alaskan should miss care because of where they live or how far they have to travel.
Expand affordable coverage
As Governor, I will:
Expand DenaliCare for working Alaskans
Help people caught between Medicaid and unaffordable private plans
Expand rural telehealth access
When people can access healthcare earlier and more consistently, families avoid bigger medical crises and the high emergency costs that get passed on to everyone else.
Lower drug costs and bring care closer
As Governor, I will:
Cut prescription drug costs
Bypass pharmacy benefit managers
Negotiate prices directly with manufacturers
Expand telehealth
Grow Alaska’s healthcare workforce
Strengthen loan repayment programs to keep providers in Alaska
Alaskans should not have to leave their communities or overpay for basic care. Lower drug costs, better rural access, and a stronger healthcare workforce can help make care more affordable and reliable statewide.
