Positions and Views |
| Improving Health & Medical Care |
Erskine's plan calls for passing a Patients? Bill of Rights to make sure that all Americans get the care they need, and supports tough measures to put an end to frivolous lawsuits.
Erskine's plan would improve access to community health centers, attract and retain qualified health care providers in rural communities, and increase access to quality health care in rural communities through telemedicine.
