We need to ensure that all Virginians have access to affordable healthcare, so no family is forced to choose between medical care and paying rent or buying groceries. Medicaid expansion was a huge gain for Virginia, but we have a lot more to do. As state senator, Amy would work hard to:

*Abolish the work mandate to receive Medicaid

*Expand broadband access to increase opportunities for telemedicine

*Address the opioid crisis

*Fully fund needle exchange programs and provide Narcan free of charge to first responders and schools

*Ensure that all of our public medical schools have sufficient technology so they are prepared for what they will face in hospitals
