Issue Position: Health Care

Issue Position

Medicaid privatization has been an expensive failure. Rural hospitals are closing. Providers are refusing patients. People are not getting the care they need. The cost of mismanagement is passed on to all of us.

Defunding family planning programs in our state has also added to the lack of affordable and accessible care, putting public health at risk.

As a former hospital chaplain I understand that investing in the health and well-being of our community pays off. As a board member for a senior care facility, I know that improving quality of care also means lowering long-term costs.

As your state legislator, I will not be pressured to sacrifice quality care for ideology or profit. I won't be fooled by promises of short term savings that come at the expense of lives.
