Issues: Health Insurance Health and Health Care

The federal health care law has made many important improvements in our health care system. Here in Minnesota, it has allowed us to insure 95,000 more Minnesotans. However, there are still more than 46 million Americans without health care insurance, and roughly 500,000 just in Minnesota.

In North Minneapolis, it is well documented that we are challenged by a number of health disparities that affect the quality of life of our families, neighbors, and friends. This must change! I believe that all Americans should have access to high quality health care. Access to affordable primary and preventive care leads to a quality filled life. This should be a right and not a choice. We need bold and passionate leadership that continues to fight and advocate for Universal Health Care. Bobby Joe Champion is an author of the Minnesota Health Plan and will continue the fight for universal single payer health care in the Senate.
