Health Care

Strengthen the Affordable Care Act, Medicare, and Medicaid  

Protect the tax credits that help low- and middle-income families afford insurance  

Give people more choice by providing a “public option,” a government run health insurance program  

Make prescriptions more affordable by protecting Medicare’s ability to negotiate drug prices directly with manufacturers, limit annual out of pocket costs for prescriptions to $2,000, and expand these benefits to people outside Medicare  

Protect the 340B drug pricing program, which provides discounted prescriptions to low-income patients 

Provide federal funding for hospitals in rural and other underserved areas  

Solve the primary care doctor shortage by investing in medical training, graduate medical education, and increased residency slots  

Fund community health centers for multiple years instead of just one at a time. This helps them plan ahead, hire good staff, and take care of more people in the community. 

Ensure women can choose what’s best for their own bodies – not politicians. 

Reinstate Roe. V. Wade  

Fund programs that help with family planning, checkups, cancer screenings, and more 

Put more mental health services in places that don’t have enough 

Pay doctors and counselors fairly so more people want to work in mental health   

Support the 988-crisis line so anyone can call for help when they feel unsafe.
