Issue Position: Ensuring Access to Healthcare
Issue Position
Issues: Health Insurance
The year 2017 presents an uncertain landscape for Alabamians when it comes to access to affordable, quality health care. Democrats want to work with the federal government and a transitional health care system to make sure all citizens, regardless of income level or pre-existing conditions, can purchase insurance and stay with the physician of their choice. In 2017, no working man or woman should be an accident or a diagnosis away from financial ruin. Alabama Democrats want to provide assurance to families that an unexpected sickness will not deplete their life savings. We also support viable and feasible measures to strengthen existing programs that assist our most financially vulnerable citizens, including the Medicaid program.
