Message from Rob Wittman:
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Health care affects every family, every community, and every stage of life. My approach to health care has always been guided by a few clear principles: access, affordability, accountability, and individual freedom.
I believe our health care system should deliver quality, affordable care while giving patients—not Washington—the primary role in making decisions about their own health. Too often, costs are driven up by complexity, lack of transparency, and policies that prioritize bureaucracy over people.
That’s why my work in Congress focuses on lowering costs and protecting patient access. We need a system that encourages competition, rewards innovation, and allows families to choose coverage and care that best fits their needs.
Transparency matters, too—patients should know the cost of care before receiving it, and policymakers should be accountable for the outcomes of the policies they support.
Strong health care policy must also recognize the unique needs of different communities. Rural areas need support to keep hospitals and clinics open. Seniors deserve access to early detection tools and modern care. Veterans should receive timely, high-quality mental and physical health services. And families should have options that help them manage costs and plan for the future.
I also believe in targeted, pro-growth tax policies that help middle-class families and small businesses afford coverage, save for medical expenses, and invest in their own health and well-being. Health Savings Accounts, telehealth, and personalized care models can all play a role in expanding access while keeping costs down.
At the core, my goal is simple: a health care system that works for people—one that protects the vulnerable, supports innovation, and respects personal responsibility. I will continue working toward practical solutions that strengthen care, reduce costs, and put patients first.
Thank you for taking the time to read this update, and for staying engaged on issues that matter to our community.
What I’m working on now: I am focused on advancing practical reforms that lower health care costs and protect access for Virginians. That includes strengthening rural hospitals and clinics, expanding access to early detection and innovative treatments, supporting veterans’ mental health services, improving telehealth options, and empowering families with more choice and control over their health care dollars. I will continue pushing policies that reduce bureaucracy, promote transparency, and put patients—not Washington—at the center of our health care system.
Sincerely,
