Issue Position: Healthcare

Issue Position

Quality, affordable healthcare is critical. Yet, many people I speak with in the 21st District tell me that their healthcare costs are too high, healthcare coverage is too limited, and prescription drugs are too expensive. Turning down federal funds designed to help the most vulnerable citizens of the Commonwealth is both inexcusable and economically foolish - especially considering Virginia's tax dollars are being exported to other states in lieu of helping our own citizens.

I will:

*Support expansion of Medicaid in Virginia
*Work to ensure that insurance, health care, and prescription drugs are affordable for all Virginians
*Work across the aisle to end the opioid epidemic and to provide addiction services and overdose response training for healthcare professionals, first responders, and law enforcement
