Issue Position: Health Care

Issue Position

Not just for the healthy & the wealthy

Ron believes access to quality health care is a right for all Americans. Throughout his career in Congress, Ron has fought to expand health coverage to uninsured families, support reproductive health care, expand Medicare and Medicaid, and defend Medicare against relentless attacks and attempts to dismantle the program. He is currently leading a bipartisan initiative in the Senate to update Medicare so that it can better address chronic conditions like diabetes and Alzheimer's while providing better care and improving the security of the program.
Seniors

Ron began his career as co-founder of Oregon's Gray Panthers and organizing legal services for the elderly, and has never let up in the fight to protect seniors and promote policies that help seniors live fulfilling, healthy, independent lives. From defending the Medicare guarantee to enacting the "Independence at Home" program to fighting for affordable prescription drugs, Ron is always on the front lines in the fight for our seniors.
