Issue Position: Healthcare

Issue Position

Every person should have the right to access affordable and quality healthcare. I have worked to support lowering medication costs and making healthcare more affordable, and I will continue working towards making healthcare something that can be accessed by all. I believe that it is unacceptable for individuals to have to choose between paying their bills and paying for essential services. The financial burden of healthcare has taken control over so many lives and I will fight to break down these barriers by working towards a public option for healthcare that will drive down costs and increase competition among service providers. I will also fight for women's health. I have supported legislation that protects women's care during pregnancy and childbirth and also legislation that supports comprehensive reproductive rights for women. Healthcare must be equitable for all individuals and provide services for mental health, addictions treatments and the LGBTQ community.
