Issue Position: Healthcare

Issue Position

Carri believes that access to basic healthcare for all Oklahomans should be a fundamental right. When Carri was pregnant with her second child, her first-born son became seriously ill. After weeks of declining health, he ended up in the emergency room and was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Carri is grateful for the lifesaving care her son received, but she knows that many families lack access to that quality of medical care. Our uninsured rate remains high, and too many Oklahomans are forced to choose between seeking the care they need or avoiding a lifetime of medical debt. Politicians at the Capitol are only making matters worse. Lawmakers regularly threaten to defund programs that serve the most vulnerable Oklahomans. Carri believes every family deserves the best treatment possible, no matter their background, their income, or where they live. In the State Senate, Carri will be a champion for protecting and preserving Oklahoma's public health services.
