Issue Position: Health Care

Issue Position

Nicole believes in making comprehensive health care more affordable for children, families and seniors. In the State Assembly, Nicole voted to provide protections to ensure that individuals with pre-existing conditions could purchase health insurance and expand the state's Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage program to provide lower prescription drug costs for seniors.

Unlike Rep. Max Rose who supports socialized healthcare system that would produce longer wait times and fewer patient choices, Nicole supports efforts to reform and strengthen our system, with an effective safety net to ensure those in need are never denied the care they deserve. Nicole will build on her record in the State Legislature by preventing price gouging by pharmaceutical companies, investing in preventative care -- like her vote to promote childhood vaccinations -- and ensure that New York hospitals have the resources to both lead the world in medical advancement and deliver lifesaving care.
