Issue Position: Accessible and Affordable Healthcare

Issue Position

A GoFundMe page cannot be a healthcare plan. Affordable health care is inaccessible for many individuals, families, and businesses. The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the inequities of a system that primarily ties healthcare coverage to an employer. The costs are astronomically high and sometimes the services are few or arbitrarily denied. I want to see Minnesota move towards a Medicare4All style system to provide health coverage to everyone.

Besides providing general health care, health insurance plans must also include mental health needs and addiction treatment. I believe in protecting a woman's right to choose and having access to quality reproductive healthcare, which includes access to contraception, STD testing, pap smears, and abortion. The purpose of healthcare is about the complete wellness of a person, and I will advocate for fighting for universal coverage for all Minnesotans.
