Issue Position

Healthcare Is Broken.
Healthcare is too expensive and hasn't worked for far too long. Families choose between paying co-pays and saving for the future. Young people cannot afford high cost deductible plans, so they remain essentially uncovered. Our seniors cannot buy expensive prescription drugs on fixed incomes. Healthcare providers spend more time billing insurance than with patients. I believe healthcare is a right and something must change. I support universal healthcare and the NY Health Act. I know there isn't a perfect legislative solution, but sitting on our hands and doing nothing won't cut it either. We must make change to ensure children and families have access to high quality healthcare, period.
