Drug Prices and Medical Debt in Easton: What Bob Brooks Would Do About Them in 2026

The Short Version for Easton Voters

If you live in Easton, you’re in Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District, and the 2026 U.S. House race there gives you a direct say on healthcare costs. Bob Brooks, the Democratic nominee, has put specific commitments on the table: bring down prescription drug prices, expand coverage, and make sure towns like Easton actually have the doctors and clinics people need. Here is where he stands and why it matters for your family’s budget.

Where Bob Brooks Stands on Healthcare Costs

Brooks will go to bat to bring down drug prices like insulin and beta-blockers, expand coverage, and make sure every town has the doctors and clinics people actually need. Those are concrete commitments aimed at prescription costs and access to care.

He is also direct about who he thinks is responsible for the squeeze. Brooks says there should be no more lining the pockets of insurance and drug company bosses, and that healthcare should work for people. He points out that in 2023, 20 million Americans were stuck with $220 billion in medical debt while 16 of the biggest drug companies made $684 billion.

On the system itself, Brooks supports Medicare for All. He spent two decades as a Bethlehem firefighter and now leads the Pennsylvania Professional Fire Fighters Association.
