Healthcare
Making sure healthcare is affordable is one of my top priorities in Congress. We need to safeguard health care coverage for people with pre-existing conditions and deepen and expand access to quality health care for everyone. No one should ever have to worry about affording a lifesaving treatment or going bankrupt because they or someone they love falls seriously ill. Health care is a right – not a privilege – and I won’t stop fighting until it is universal.
We must protect and build on the gains we’ve made under the Affordable Care Act. We won’t go back to the days when insurance companies could impose monetary limits on your coverage, kick young adults off their parents’ plans, deny coverage to people for a pre-existing condition like cancer, or even charge women more for their health care.
Last year, House Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act and stood up to big pharmaceutical companies to keep seniors from paying any more than $35 per month for insulin. We must continue to fight to lower costs for all Americans.
