Van Vactor's 'Healthcare Independence' plan supports letting any Floridian purchase lower-cost health insurance according to income (a government-backed public option), letting employers lower their workers' compensation insurance, and giving veterans a dual-track choice between the VA and the public option, while letting people keep their private insurance if they like it.

“Our plan is simple: First, we want any Floridian to have the ability to purchase Lower Cost Health Insurance according to your income. If you like your private insurance, keep it. But if that private plan is bleeding you dry with premiums and deductibles, you should have the right to choose a government-backed option that puts people over profits. Second, we want to give every employer the power to lower their workmans compensation insurance.”
