As a nurse midwife with over a decade of medical experience, I intimately know the fears many people have regarding health care. Health care is a right, and no one in Maine should go bankrupt trying to pay their medical bills. I also believe that no one should lose their ability to see the doctor when they lose their job, especially in the middle of a pandemic, and that we need bold solutions to the racial disparities that have left too many Black, Brown, and Indigenous families without the health care they need during this crisis.
