Medicare for All

En español 🇪🇸

Healthcare is a human right. 68,000 people die every year in America due solely to lacking health insurance. 30 million people are uninsured, tens of millions more are underinsured. People are dying due to unaffordable medical care and having to ration their insulin and other drugs. Meanwhile insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and private hospitals are making record profits. In the richest country in human history, there is no excuse to continue letting this tragedy happen.

It is time that we demand better. Read my Op-Ed on Medicare For All

I will fight for:

• The Medicare for All Act of 2021 (HR 1976), establishing a public single-payer system that will ensure all residents, comprehensively cover all medical needs (including dental, vision, pharmaceuticals, mental health care, and long term care), and end unaffordable co-pays, premiums, and deductibles.

• Protecting the right to abortion care is essential to a person's health and ensuring equal rights for people of all genders.

• The Disability Integration Act, funding community-based care and ensuring affordable, accessible, and integrated housing for people who would otherwise be placed in institutions.

• The building and operation of clinics, specialty centers, and hospitals in underserved areas directly by the federal government.

• Elimination of medical debts.
