1. Propose a public option insurance plan as competition for private insurers for states with few insurance options.
2. Increasing federal financial assistance for health insurance marketplace enrollees.
3. Taking action to reduce prescription drug costs with new legislation to expand on pharmaceutical company rebates for the government health programs.
4. Allowing Medicare to negotiate prices for select treatments, focusing on the most expensive treatments.
5. Providing tax credits to lower ACA enrollees’ monthly premiums for people at the federal poverty line and 400 percent of the federal poverty line.
