Issues: Entitlements and the Safety Net Health and Health Care

Health care is a right, not a privilege. Gil will defend the ACA from Republican attempts to rip away coverage for millions and fight for increased access and more affordable care for everyone.

President Trump and Washington Republicans are doing everything they can to sabotage and repeal the Affordable Care Act, with legislation that would strip healthcare from millions and increase premiums. As long as Republicans control Congress, they will continue to attack the healthcare of millions of Americans.

I will defend the ACA from their attacks and fight for increased access and more affordable care for everyone. We need to work to fix and improve the ACA, not repeal it. I will fight for the public option that was originally intended to be part of the ACA, and give people the option to buy into Medicare. We need to work to stabilize insurance markets and have the government directly negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies to bring costs down.
