access to health care
Expand access to health care.
Occurrences
Evidence
Yesterday, more than 250 House and Senate Democrats... filed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court urging them to overturn a Fifth Circuit decision that would upend the FDA approval process and restrict access to mifepristone. ... the emergency stay is necessary to ensure that Louisiana is not able to deny medically appropriate care to patients far beyond the state’s borders.
The House GOP agenda: Nothing to lower costs. Nothing to protect healthcare. Nothing to keep communities safe. Everything to make billionaires even richer.
Assessments
Clark took concrete same-term action to protect and preserve access to health care, including leading or joining a major Supreme Court amicus effort concerning mifepristone access and FDA authority. However, the evidence shows advocacy and litigation support rather than a completed federal policy expansion of health care access attributable to her. The broad promise is therefore partially advanced but not fully delivered on this record.
