Issue Position: Health Care

Issue Position

Anna supports building medical schools UC Merced and Fresno State University as a way to bring doctors to the Valley communities. She understands when a person has to drive hours to a hospital or to see a specialist, it puts their health in jeopardy. Increasing access to healthcare for everyone in the Salinas and Central Valley is a priority for Anna. Anna will focus on prevention through early intervention clinics and consider options to reduce the cost on working families. Anna understands we must provide real care for families who rely on emergency rooms for their primary healthcare needs. Anna has dedicated her life to helping people lead better lives. She has worked with people across central California as the first female Mayor of Salinas, Assembly member and member of Governor Jerry Brown's Cabinet. As our next State Senator, Anna is committed to fighting to improve healthcare.
