Issue Position: Healthcare

Issue Position

I will not rest until every Marylander has quality, affordable healthcare. I know firsthand that a devastating diagnosis and unexpected medical bills can strike a family at any time. In particular, I will focus on out-of-control prescription drug prices. We must:

Reduce prescription drug prices by treating generic prescription drug manufacturers like utilities;
Establish Maryland's own universal healthcare system, which would eliminate copays, deductibles, and premiums while saving millions of dollars in administrative costs;
Fight for earned sick leave;
Ensure affordable access to birth control, reproductive healthcare, and abortion; and
Enhance funding of the Senior Prescription Drug Assistance Program and provide resources to offer seniors choices in long-term care.
