Byron Donalds<\/a> is laying out his health care policy platform<\/a> as he runs for Governor.<\/p>\n

Donalds is proposing the \u201cYour Doctor, Your Price\u201d initiative, which would require health care providers to post real cash prices for their top 20 services offered. Donalds\u2019 plan would also align Florida\u2019s prescription drug program with federal costs and promote the freedom to choose health care providers without pre-authorizations or surprise billing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to health care, one thing I\u2019ve learned: The doctors are frustrated, the patients are frustrated,\u201d Donalds said in The Villages at the Hotel Eastport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re seeing the workers in that system and the users of that system, both, quite frankly, pulling their hair out \u2026 what it means is we have a responsibility to bring real reforms that will make this system and this process better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Donalds acknowledged that Florida\u2019s health care challenges affect seniors and families in large cities and small towns alike, vowing to pursue quality health care that is affordable and transparent.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Naples Republican said Florida is the \u201chottest state in America\u201d and reforms he is supporting in health care and elsewhere will continue to protect the state\u2019s position.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Florida, as your next Governor, it is my duty and responsibility to protect the Florida Dream,\u201d Donalds said.<\/p>\n

He noted that his wife,\u00a0Erika Donalds, wants their future children and grandchildren in the state as well, giving him motivation to help the state function better.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to make sure that there is transparency in health care, real transparency that you can touch, that you can feel, that you can grab, that you can hold,\u201d Donalds said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to make sure that those prices and that transparency is available to everybody \u2014 so that we have stability, we have certainty, we have efficiency, we have competition and, in short, all of you get the very best out of the best state in all of America.\u201d<\/p>\n
