Health Care
Health care should be a right, not a privilege, for all Americans. This was a principle I fought for while serving on New Hampshire’s Executive Council and one I’m fighting for in Washington. That is why I am committed to ensuring that all Granite Staters receive quality, affordable health care.
The Affordable Care Act was an important step forward in the fight to improve our country’s health care system. While it is certainly not perfect, it should be built upon, not torn down, which is why I will fight all efforts to roll back crucial protections like those for people with pre-existing conditions.
We should be stabilizing and expanding the ACA as we work to lower the cost of health care for everyone. As we improve upon insurance coverage, we have to ensure access to reproductive health care, improve mental health care access and rural health care access, and lower the cost of prescription drugs. We have much more work to do to focus on the health and well-being of the American people.
I will continue to fight for proposals that will expand access, improve health outcomes, and lower the cost of prescription drugs for Granite Staters.
