Issue Position: An Ounce of Prevention

Issue Position

The majority of Floridians who recognize healthcare as a right and not a privilege are far too generous to allow a fellow citizen's minor ailment escalate into a major illness. Ironically, while American healthcare is the most expensive, it is the least effective among developed nations. This sad contradiction can be traced from Big Pharma and insurance companies to hospitals, lawyers, lobbyists and, especially, legislative leaders who put thousands of children and seniors at risk by denying the Medicaid funding source in the Affordable Care Act. This is not how we treat our friends and neighbors in the land I love. I'll fight to ensure quality, affordable, preventative healthcare for everyone and stand up for the least among us by supporting Florida's funding of Medicaid, food stamps, and the Meals on Wheels programs.
