Issue Position: Paula Bradshaw's View on Health Coverage

Issue Position

When it comes to health coverage, Paula Bradshaw has been quite clear that Affordable Care Act is not working for America. Paula believes in replacing the current system with a Medicare-for-all or a single payer system which removes private insurance companies from the mix and replaces it with the federal government.

The effect will be to get rid of the different rules that each insurance company has when it comes to health care, simplify the system, and provide a clear, understandable, and affordable method for people to get the coverage that they need.

For the insurance industry in general, Paula believes in a thriving marketplace for auto, home, and life insurance should be present for those who desire having such coverage. This is why raising the minimum wage is so important as it will provide the opportunity that millions of Americans will use to improve their own lives.

It is raising the minimum wage that will actually push many people out of qualifying for Medicaid which is designed to assist those without enough money to have healthcare coverage. This is another reason why she favors getting rid of the Affordable Care Act and replacing it with a single payer system. By taking Obamacare off the table, insurance companies will be regulated out of the healthcare marketplace and instead only the federal government will oversee the coverage.

In the end, the Green Party will make strides in gaining new seats in local races as well as being a growing presence in national elections. Paula Bradshaw offers a new and different take for her constituents in the Illinois 12th Congressional District as part of the Green Party movement that is expanding beyond environmental issues and bringing new ideas that replace much of what the current two-party system offers.
