I am writing to ask you to support SB 1, the primary‑care reform bill currently under consideration. Strengthening primary care is one of the most effective ways to improve health outcomes, reduce long‑term costs, and ensure that Delawareans can access the preventive and ongoing care they need. As recent legislative hearings have highlighted, our primary‑care system is under significant strain. Rising costs, provider shortages, and inconsistent access to basic care are creating barriers for families across the state. SB 1 offers a thoughtful, evidence‑based approach to addressing these challenges by increasing investment in primary care, improving payment structures, and creating a more sustainable environment for providers. This bill represents a proactive step toward a healthier, more equitable system. By prioritizing primary care, Delaware can reduce avoidable emergency‑room visits, improve chronic‑disease management, and make healthcare more affordable over time. These reforms are not only fiscally responsible—they are essential for the well‑being of our communities. I urge you to support SB 1 and help ensure that Delaware builds a stronger, more accessible healthcare landscape for the future.
