Health Care
Accessible, affordable, and effective health care as a right, not a privilege.
Health care should not be a partisan football. It should be a human right, delivered with efficiency, integrity, and compassion. Our goal is not to defend a system or ideology — but to build one that works. We prioritize outcomes over orthodoxy, access over allegiance, and evidence over ego.
Universal Access, Flexible Delivery
Everyone deserves care, but the system doesn’t have to look the same for everyone.
We support:
Public-private hybrid models that preserve choice while ensuring no one falls through the cracks.
Universal baseline coverage that guarantees access to preventive, emergency, and essential medical services.
Automatic enrollment in a public option, with opt-out flexibility for private plans.
Lower Drug Prices, Period
No more $600 inhalers.
We propose:
Direct federal negotiation with pharmaceutical companies for Medicare and public insurance plans.
Caps on out-of-pocket drug costs and profit margins, especially for chronic illness treatments.
Patent reform to reduce “evergreening” and increase generic competition.
Mental Health Parity
Mental health is health. Period.
We advocate for:
Full enforcement of mental health parity laws, requiring equal coverage for psychiatric and physical health conditions.
Community-based mental health care systems, including mobile units, drop-in centers, and telehealth services.
Crisis response alternatives to police, including mental health professionals and social workers.
Evidence-Based Medicine, Not Political Theater
Science should drive care, not sound bites and clickbait.
We support:
National clinical guidelines boards, insulated from political pressure, to evaluate treatments and protocols.
Transparent public health mandates, with sunset clauses and review metrics.
Rigorous vaccine development oversight, paired with consistent education and outreach — not mandates driven by panic.
Hospital Reform & Cost Transparency
Your appendicitis shouldn’t cost more than a car.
We propose:
Full price transparency mandates for hospitals and outpatient clinics.
Bundled billing standards to eliminate surprise charges.
Caps on administrative overhead for nonprofit hospitals — if you’re tax-exempt, prove you're serving the public.
Rural & Telehealth Expansion
Care shouldn’t depend on your ZIP code.
We support:
Mobile health units and incentives for rural practitioners to close service gaps.
Permanent expansion of telehealth coverage, with reimbursement parity to in-person care.
Universal broadband access as a prerequisite for modern health care access.
Reproductive & Maternal Health
Autonomy, dignity, and access for all.
We advocate for:
Guaranteed maternal care coverage, including prenatal, delivery, and postpartum services.
Codified federal protection of reproductive rights, including contraception and abortion access.
Support for crisis pregnancy centers only if they provide medically accurate, non-coercive information.
Decouple Insurance from Employment
Your health shouldn’t depend on your job.
We support:
Portable insurance models that follow you across jobs and life stages.
Tax code reforms to incentivize individual coverage instead of employer dependency.
Expanded HSA options for supplemental care, mental health, and preventative services.
