I support policies that ensure these markets operate with transparency and fairness, and that Idaho families aren’t forced to sacrifice one for the other. I will protect healthcare tax credits that help Idaho families afford coverage by working across party lines to pass needed insurance reforms. I will also work across party lines to increase competition, improve affordability, and strengthen Idaho's health insurance marketplace. I will work to ban pharmaceutical companies from giving kickbacks to doctors. I support re-introducing transparency into the American healthcare system. Americans have a right to see upfront, itemized prices for procedures and medications, thus eliminating \"surprise billing” after the fact. I support strengthening antitrust enforcement to block healthcare mergers that raise costs or reduce patient choice. I will pursue insurance industry reforms that increase competition, transparency and affordability in the health insurance market while keeping families, not shareholders, the priority. Homeownership should remain within reach for Idaho families. I support Congress’ recent progress toward expanding housing opportunities. The bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act made meaningful progress toward increasing housing supply and limiting large institutional investors from buying up single-family homes. I will build on those reforms to make homeownership more attainable for Idaho families. I will work to pass a national ban on algorithm-driven price fixing that artificially inflates housing costs. I will work to increase housing supply by promoting legislation that rewards cities for building more housing, ends discriminatory rules against manufactured housing, creates more financing options for first-time homebuyers, expands building trades apprenticeship programs, and provide federal loans to finance housing infrastructure in rural communities.","source_url":"https://WWW.ACHILLESFORIDAHO.COM/policies","source_date":"2026-08-06"},{"topic":"Technology","stance":"Internet Privacy & AI","detail":"The internet has become essential to everyday life, but a handful of powerful companies collect our personal data, control what we see, monitor our activity, and charge us money at every turn.
