No one should have to choose between putting food on the table and getting the healthcare and the medication they need. I know the importance of expanding access to health insurance and strengthening the Affordable Care Act. In 2017, President Trump and MAGA Republicans tried to repeal the ACA, potentially hurting 30 million Americans with pre-existing conditions. Now in Trump’s second term, they are going to try and do the same thing. When elected to Congress, I am committed to fighting the GOP and Donald Trump tooth and nail to protect your healthcare, and those with pre-existing conditions.
The Biden Harris Administration and Congressional Democrats were able to pass legislation lowering the cost of prescription drugs by reinforcing legislation to cap the cost of insulin and allow Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices. Now, Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are bowing down to the pharmaceutical companies threatening to rollback this progress. When elected, I will fight MAGA Republicans in Congress to ensure these advancements are protected for everyday people that rely on this medical care.
During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, while in the State House, I helped protect critical health care services and saved a rural hospital in Green Valley from closing its doors by securing funding. In Congress, I will fight to ensure our healthcare is affordable, accessible, and available to all Arizonans––especially in our rural communities.
