HEALTHCARE IS A HUMAN RIGHT I support a universal, single-payer system. Medicare for All would ensure every person is covered, regardless of income, job, or circumstance. Healthcare should never depend on employment or ability to pay.No one should go bankrupt, suffer, or die because they can’t afford medical care. I will fight to replace our current profit-driven system with one that puts people first.The Problem:Millions of Americans still cannot afford basic medical care, even if they have insurance.Healthcare is tied to employment, meaning people lose coverage when they lose their job.The real pricing of health care, what the hospitals and doctors charge each patient, does not depend on cost at all. It depends on your health insurance, and ultimately on who you work for. Medical debt is one of the leading causes of bankruptcy in the United States.Rural communities, like many in our district, are losing access to hospitals and care.Insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies are driving up costs while limiting care.The Facts:U.S. healthcare spending reached $5.3 trillion in 2024 (18% of GDP). (source)36% of U.S. households carry medical debt, totaling $194 billion in collection (source)Out of pocket spending grew 5.9% to $556.6 billion in 2024, or 11 percent of total NHE. (source)Nearly 27 million people in the United States are without healthcare (source)The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that over 14 million more people will be uninsured in 2034 due to the combined effects of the Medicaid and Marketplace eligibility changes included in the reconciliation law and the expiration of the enhanced Marketplace subsidies. (source)The United States is the only major industrialized nation without Universal My Plan:Support and pass the The Medicare for All Act to save money, improve economic mobility, end job lock, reduce crime and ensure every American can see a doctor without spiraling into medical debt.
