About healthcare
The global COVID-19 crisis reminds me daily that the healthcare system in our country is broken. There is no bigger issue facing Michigan families right now than the rising cost of healthcare. There is something terribly wrong when working families have to rely on the charity of their communities and kick-starter campaigns to afford cancer treatment or their child's medication.

In Congress, my priority will be finding immediate, common-sense solutions to bring down the costs of healthcare, including and especially lowering the cost of prescription drugs. I support policies that will ban insurance companies from raising rates on people when they get sick, denying people coverage for having a pre-existing condition or dropping them when they get sick. I will work tirelessly to prevent insurance companies from increasing premiums and deductibles while reducing coverage. I will defend the Affordable Care Act and work every day to expand on it, including working to create a public option like Medicare, for all Americans who want it.
