Healthcare
Medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy in the US. Healthcare should be about healing, not profits. How many of us have skipped a doctor visit to save money, only to become sicker? What is happening in the medical industry is criminal, and it must be fixed. For the leaders who tell us that healthcare for all is too expensive, I can assure you that a sick population is much more costly. Too many politicians today are taking in money from pharmaceutical and healthcare conglomerates.
​Agenda
​
-
Pass Medicare for All. We already spend too much on healthcare as a nation, and those who are forced to go without insurance due to high costs will only get sicker without care. It’s moral to create a system where everyone can receive healthcare, and many estimates have found that Medicare for All could cost up to 15% LESS than our current healthcare spending. YOU would also spend less on healthcare out of pocket.
-
Healthcare is a human right, and anyone who tries to restrict access to healthcare due to gender, gender expression, or sexuality misunderstands the core principles of a democratic society.
-
Expand access to mental healthcare services and drug rehabilitation programs as these are essential to having a healthy, safe, and prosperous society.
