TACKLING THE ISSUES AND PUSHING FOR TRANSPARENCY

Schaibley pledges to continue her work on many issues. “There are several things that I am working on, especially with health care-related issues,” Schaibley emphasized. “I am also working on human trafficking and sexual assault issues and with victims’ rights. This area is of major interest to me, and I have worked on legislation in those areas over the last several years.”

Over the course of six years, Schaibley has championed for many issues, including readjusting the school funding formula that increased dollars to our community schools. “Providing additional funding for local schools is one of the first issues I took up when I first arrived at the statehouse,” Schaibley said. “I worked hard to make it a fair distribution of funds for local schools and continue to work to provide more funding for our schools.” The issue of health care cost transparency has been a strong area of focus for Schaibley. “We need more transparency of the cost of health care and health services,” Schaibley expressed. “These have traditionally been shrouded in secrecy. This year, we passed quite a few transparency-related bills regarding health care, including the good faith estimate language that I authored that allows patients the ability to find out the cost of a procedure prior to having it done.”
