"No one should be forced into bankruptcy simply because they became ill or were injured. Healthcare should be a basic right. Medicare-for-All would safeguard public health while lowering expenses for the average American. Every other developed nation has already adopted some form of universal healthcare, and it's time we do the same. Expanding access to care will also require more healthcare professionals, which we can support by increasing the number of residency positions while investing in medical training."
