Issue Position: Provide Quality Health Care for All

Issue Position

We all deserve a world where having access to quality healthcare is a human right, not something that comes as a privilege based on employment. Too often the cost of health care premiums is so incredibly high that in order to make other ends meet, families go without. Nobody should be afraid to make a doctor's appointment due to fear of the cost. I believe that health care is a right, and as we move in this direction I will continue to fight for quality health care for all. I grew up seeing how the Indian Health Service worked as a "health care for all" system, and it continues to be grossly underfunded and provides limited services. Because I have lived with the impact of an underfunded health care system on my family and my community, I am uniquely prepared to fight for a system that makes the health of our communities a priority rather than a privilege.
