Improving Access to Affordable Healthcare
One of the main priorities of Congressman Mrvan for Indiana’s First Congressional District is to improve access to affordable healthcare.
Rep. Mrvan understands the struggles of vulnerable individuals and families, including the elderly who have been in need of assistance paying for prescription drugs, pregnant women in need of care, children who have been victims of sexual exploitation, and veterans who have been in need of mental health services.
As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, Rep. Mrvan will continue to build on his experience of advocating on behalf of people struggling to secure access to quality healthcare, pay their rent, keep the lights and heat on, and take care of basic health necessities.
For any individual in need of assistance obtaining healthcare services, please do not hesitate to contact the Merrillville office at 219-795-1844 to speak with a caseworker.
