Affordable access to Health Care

Minnesotans believe every person should have high-quality, affordable health care, no matter their gender, age, where they live, or what they look like. COVID-19 has shown us that our health and well-being are connected. Corporate health care greed has forced too many Minnesotans to choose between feeding their families and paying their medical bills or seeking care. For the same reason, high-quality elder care and home care are out of reach for too many vulnerable, disabled, and elderly residents. Minnesotans have the right to make their own medical decisions without interference from lawmakers or their boss. By pulling together as we’ve done in the past, we can make sure that every one of us gets the care we need to make it through the pandemic and rebuild a healthier future for all Minnesotans, no exceptions.

I will work hard to ensure all Minnesotans have access to the prescription drugs they need at a price they can afford, especially life-saving medications like insulin. I will vote to expand the current MinnesotaCare plan to allow anyone to buy into it as a pathway to universal health care.
