text: "Proud to be named a ""Champion of Health Care Innovation"" by the Healthcare Leadership Council. If we are ever going to consistently provide patients with the highest quality care, at the lowest price, innovation is absolutely essential. We need to make sure that researchers can continue to create life-saving drugs and that doctors and surgeons can spend their time treating patients ÛÒ not tied up in unnecessary paperwork and weighed down with extensive burdensome taxes and fees that are then passed along to the patient. Whether itÛªs increased cancer detection ability, a quicker Lyme disease diagnosis, or improved quality of life through a new wheelchair, I will continue to push for innovations that help those who are hurting."
