Issue Position

Like many Arizona residents, I have friends who find it impossible to afford health insurance, despite doing everything right: sacrificing to get an education, pursuing their dreams, and working hard in respected careers. When they wind up in emergency rooms, it's financially disastrous for the

No one should have to go bankrupt because they're sick.

That is why I believe Arizonans should have access to quality affordable healthcare, regardless of pre-existing conditions. I will work to allow consumers to buy into AHCCCS, the state's Medicaid agency, increasing the program's more bargaining power to reduce premiums for everyone. I will stand up to insurance companies that are taking advantage of families, and fight to protect essential benefits such as maternity care, cancer treatments, and mental health care.
