Health Care
Fixing our healthcare system is one of my top priorities in Congress. Americans pay more for health care than anyone else in the world, and we still get worse results than other countries. And that’s just for Americans who have access to health care; Texas, meanwhile, has both the largest number and percentage of uninsured residents in the country.
Health care should be a right, not a privilege, and it’s time for Congress to guarantee healthcare for all people. I’m a proud co-sponsor of the Medicare for All Act, because no Texan should have to skip taking medicine or not see a doctor because they can’t afford it.
Congress must ensure that families across the country can afford their prescription drugs and to receive high-quality health care. I also support legislation to protect and strengthen Medicare and Medicaid, and will always oppose efforts to cut funding for these essential programs.
