No to COVID or any other kind of mandates. Having been on the frontlines for almost 2 years I want answers on how and where this Viral Pandemic originated and I will fight to put protections in place for healthcare providers that are required to wear PPE.
Healthcare in America remains too expensive from insurance, the care itself, to drug prices. Antiquated and archaic laws and overly burdensome regulations must be reformed to create a Patients First System that ensures quality healthcare that is truly affordable and accessible. When I was at HHS essential regulatory reforms were put in place such as Hospital Price Transparency and scheduled to start January 1, 2021. However, it is debatable whether hospitals are complying. You deserve to know the price tag of care before you receive it. I will be asking many questions about issues like this. Additionally, I learned that rural areas are most in need and why I support actions like expanding Community Health Centers and Telehealth availability.
While working at the VA Nursing Home I was reminded daily that our seniors and physically vulnerable patients in Long-term care need a Champion in Washington to be their voice. Lastly, we must continue to fight for individuals with mental health and substance use disorders and their families.
