Protecting Health Care

Every family deserves access to quality, affordable healthcare and the freedom to make their own healthcare decisions. Chris believes reproductive freedom is a fundamental right. He supports protecting access to contraception, fertility treatments, maternal healthcare, and abortion care, and believes these deeply personal decisions should remain between patients and their healthcare providers, not politicians. He will work to protect and strengthen Medicare and Medicaid, lower prescription drug costs, expand access to mental health services, and ensure families can access quality healthcare regardless of where they live or how much they earn. As an attorney who has spent more than fourteen years helping families navigate some of life’s most difficult challenges, Chris understands that healthcare decisions can have lasting impacts on a family’s future. He believes the government should empower people to make the best decisions for themselves and their loved ones while ensuring every community has access to the care and resources they need. Healthcare is not a privilege. It is essential to the health, stability, and economic security of our families, our communities, and our future.
