Issue Position: Health Care

Issue Position

HEALTH CARE AND WOMEN'S HEALTH ARE UNDER ATTACK. I'LL STAND STRONG FOR THEM.

Tea Party Republicans are out of control. Beholden to special interests, they are have targeted President Obama's modest Affordable Care Act, and now they've declared war on women, especially Planned Parenthood. I strongly support the president's first step towards common sense heath care reform.

I'm a strong supporter of uhiversal heath care, and I will always fight for women's rights to choose safe, legal abortions and emergency contraception.

Defending President Obama's Affordable Care Act: I support all parts of ACA, and I'll fight for them and for a public option.

Supporting universal health care: I have seen too many people struggle with America's private health care and health insurance systems. It's time we caught up with the rest of the industrialized world and value our citizens enough to guarantee them basic medical care. I prefer single-payer.

Standing strong against the Republicans' War on Women and Planned Parenthood: I am a proud husband and father of my daughter Yvonne (one of triplets). The War on Women is dangerous and insulting. I will never compromise on a woman's right to choose or on supporting emergency contraception. I will fight for Planned Parenthood and other women's health centers.
