Issue Position: Health Care For All

Issue Position

Family always comes first. It should be a moral outrage that in the richest country on Earth, 28 million Americans live without health insurance. Americans pay more for health care than any other industrialized country, but we still have worst outcomes across the board. Together, we can change that.

That's why I support Medicare For All. There is something terribly wrong a system that we look at insurance company buildings and see gleaming and shiny edifices of luxury, and then we look at many of our hospitals and we see them crumbling. It's just plain wrong."

Medicare for All is the best path towards comprehensive and universal coverage for all Americans and honors our campaign's vision that healthcare is a universal right. The benefits of this model:

Ensures that all individuals, regardless of income or status, will have access to health care.

Reduces the burden on employers and small business owners.

Lowers administrative costs.

Provides comprehensive access to critical services like preventative care, affordable prescription drugs, disability and mental health services.

Medicare for All ensures a system that is more accountable and responsive to all of New Mexico's communities, including our underserved rural communities.
