Health
Far too many people remain uninsured in this country, including many of my constituents who pay too much for their medicine and care. No individual should ever have to choose between health care and bankruptcy.
I believe everyone should have access to affordable and quality health care. I will support measures that move us toward that goal, including fighting to protect Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security, closing the uninsured gap, protecting people with pre-existing conditions, addressing the prescription drug affordability crisis, and reducing health disparities among different communities.
As a long-time advocate for universal health care, I aim to move our country towards a system with universal health care and I am an original cosponsor of Medicare for All. We must increase coverage, support small businesses, expand primary care, and lower premiums. Medicare for All is the right step toward addressing the high costs and inequalities in the current health care system.
