Issues: Health and Health Care
Restoring our investments to Human Services: Human service funding took an absolutely devastating hit under Tom Corbett's tenure, and we have still not replaced that money. We must restore these critical funds in order to make sure that those who have the least can get the assistance they need to live.
Fighting mental health stigma: One in four Americans suffers from some sort of mental health disorder, but only 30-40% of those who suffer will seek treatment. A large part of the reason for this is because there is still a major stigma that surrounds mental health disorders. We must continue to fight this stigma in order to ensure that those who need help will seek it.
