Issues: Health and Health Care
Over the past few years, we've made tremendous progress in expanding access to affordable care--but too many Rhode Islanders are still being left behind. Healthcare is a basic human right and I support moving toward a healthcare-for-all system. Patients shouldn't have to forgo the care they need because deductibles are too high or they can't afford their medications. Access to quality care, delivered in ways that meet patients' varied needs, is essential.
So many people have lost health coverage due to job loss during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our health insurance system is not working for everyone and that has to change.
