Issue Position: Health Care

Issue Position

In the State Senate, I will protect the Affordable Care Act and fight to expand access to healthcare for everyone in California. I will stand up to the pharmaceutical companies, demanding transparency and lower prescription drug prices. During my service in the State Assembly, I defended reproductive health care and a woman's right to choose. In the State Senate, I will advocate for funding for women's healthcare including cancer screenings, contraception and essential education services.

As a military service member, our family always had universal healthcare. My wife Robin, Brigadier General USA (Ret.), served as a nurse, hospital administrator and Undersecretary for the California Department of Veterans Affairs.

Every Californian should have access to quality, affordable healthcare. In the State Senate I will fight the Trump Administration to expand healthcare, not take coverage away for those who need it most .
