I adamantly oppose the Ryan Budget and its effort to privatize Medicare and convert it into a voucher program. Medicare is one of the best and most effective programs in this country, and I will do everything I can to protect it and the seniors who rely on it. If elected, I will make sure that insurance companies with large profits are not jacking up premiums on vulnerable customers. I would also fight for better access to medical care for seniors, especially those living in rural areas. We can also improve care for seniors in a fiscally responsible manner by emphasizing quality, not just quantity, of care.
