Healthcare

Healthcare is a human right, not a privilege; Americans deserve access to quality, affordable care they can rely on to keep them healthy. The acquisition of good healthcare continues to be the bane of every American’s existence; we want to make the process as simple as possible.

Why it matters:

The GOP’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”, passed in July 2025, included nearly $1 trillion in cuts to Medicare and Medicaid over the next decade. Much of this will come through removing eligibility for Medicaid through “work requirements”, meaning eligibility will be based on if the individual can prove they are either employed or actively searching for work.

Work requirements have been proven to be ineffective, removing eligible Americans from healthcare access and doing nothing to improve employment rates. A real-world example can be found in Arkansas, where work requirements forced approximately 18,000 Americans to lose coverage over the course of seven months.

Now, subsidies that more than 20 million Americans rely on to help afford their health insurance have expired after the Republican-led Congress voted not to extend them. On average, this will mean Americans will see an increase of approximately 114% of their premium.

Solution(s):

• Expand Medicare to include dental/hearing/vision
• Universal healthcare for all (with the option to keep your private insurer)
• Full extension of the Affordable Care Act subsidies
• Reduce administrative waste by streamlining processes and thereby producing savings
• Cap drug costs for life-saving drugs
• Reform prior authorization process
