Protect Medicaid and Medicare.

I want to return to Washington to continue the fight for the values that we hold dear—protecting Medicaid and Medicare, strengthening Social Security, insuring that all Americans have access to quality and affordable health care, and fighting for the returning veterans that have fought for us.

Promises to protect Medicaid and Medicare.

I am a strong believer that healthcare is a right, not a privilege... Constituents and providers agree that we can’t go back on the promise of the Affordable Care Act. Instead, Congress should focus on improving our healthcare system by reducing costs and increasing coverage... For the first time in history, we beat the special interests and allowed Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices for our seniors.
