HEALTHCARE

Everyone should have health insurance and access to affordable medical care, dental care, and behavioral health care – along with needed prescription medications and devices – regardless of income or work status.

Because I believe quality health care is a human right, our duty as Democrats is to provide a single-payer system with complete – rather than patchwork – coverage. This would include comprehensive coverage of all services requiring a healthcare professional, including women’s health, mental health, dental health, reproductive health, and transgender health care. The special needs of senior citizens, the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodiverse children and adults, and those suffering from substance misuse and behavioral health conditions must also remain in the forefront.
