Every single American deserves access to quality, affordable healthcare, period.
Every single American deserves access to quality, affordable healthcare, period. This is personal for me. I saw firsthand what getting sick in our current system means for a family. My mom stopped going to doctors after getting surprised with unaffordable medical bills and let many treatable conditions fester because of the cost of basic preventative care. She neglected a known heart condition for decades and died from it at 67. My sister’s husband suffered a stroke, and with the medical bills in the millions, their family was financially ruined. This shouldn’t happen to anyone.
I will fight to preserve and protect Medicare and Medicaid. I will fight to make health care costs transparent, and fight to lower the cost of prescription medication. I will fight to move towards universal health care. The US is an amazing, innovative country—there is no reason we cannot make healthcare accessible when so many other countries have.
