Our healthcare system is under attack and I believe universal healthcare is a fundamental human right. While health insurance is too expensive for many and too many Illinoisans still do not have access to care, the newly passed Republican tax bill threatens to strip health care away from hundreds of thousands of people in Illinois. I will fight for a public option for healthcare which will increase competition and drive down costs. We need to provide access to critical women's health services like birth control and cancer screenings. Healthcare needs to provide equitable treatment for the LGBTQ community and encompass treatments for addiction, mental health services, and emergency services.
