When families are empowered to make the best decisions for their own flourishing, we all win.

Leadership is only effective when it seeks to serve and promote the flourishing of a society. These are Sara-Elizabeth’s top three priorities in the area of health and society.

1. Extend transparency in healthcare pricing.

We’ve made progress, including at the federal level, of helping Kentuckians know what they’re going to pay for hospital services. This transparency is needed across types of healthcare and medical testing.

2. Step down CON.

Kentucky’s broad, stifling Certificate of Need laws have far outlived their usefulness. Stepping down certificate-of-need requirements in certain areas of healthcare will foster competitive pricing in this expensive healthcare economy.

3. Establish a Statewide SANE Coordinator.

Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners are on the front lines with some of our most vulnerable and exploited neighbors. A Statewide Coordinator position will help us address the shortage of SANE-certified nurses and help the Assembly serve victims better.

Sara-Elizabeth’s other health and society priorities include measures to fight human trafficking and child abuse, leverage capitalism against carbon emissions, require paternal responsibility, equip parents in crisis to thrive while choosing life, improve maternal health and childbirth outcomes, ban the marketing of predatory gambling to children, ensure access to medical cannabis, and increase access to quality education, mental health support, safe and warm housing, and help to overcome addiction.
