Issue Position: Affordable Health Care For All

Issue Position

The Affordable Care Act and Access Health CT have expanded coverage to American and Connecticut residents, providing care to people without access to private insurance or with pre-existing conditions. We must fight to preserve these programs in the face of a hostile federal administration, and strengthen them here at the state level.

I have spoken with hundreds of voters across the district, and many of us have had unexpected lapses in our coverage or unforeseen healthcare expenses, and steep increases in premium costs. Identifying unnecessary costs from providers and exploring a single-payer system or public option will make Connecticut a desirable place to live and work, and help small business owners and entrepreneurs develop and attract a skilled workforce.
