I am committed to making health care more affordable and accessible to all, because I believe essential health care is a human right. As your representative, I advocate for a health insurance system that guarantees access and lowers the cost of health care. I support controlling the rising costs of medication, expanding the definition of affordability to include other out-of-pocket costs such as copays and deductibles, and allowing for a public option for individuals and small businesses.
