Issue Position: Increase Access to Quality Care

Issue Position

Too many families in Southside suffer from an incomplete healthcare system. Access to quality care is limited, providers lack necessary resources, prescription drug costs are too high, and it's nearly impossible to navigate the health insurance maze. We need patient centered solutions that will allow those in our community to have access to the quality and affordable care they deserve, regardless of location. We also need to protect patients with preexisting conditions and ensure they get the care they need.

Additionally, we need to confront the opioid epidemic head on. We are losing too many young, talented individuals to this tragic disease while wasting valuable resources which can be used elsewhere. There has to be a better way. We must find a solution. We have to find a different approach.
