The U.S. spends more per person on healthcare than any country on Earth, yet families in our district still skip insulin, avoid going to the doctor, or gamble on GoFundMe. That is not a market glitch - it is a business model.

The plan

1. Medicare For All

• One national program, one card, one network.

• No premiums, deductibles, or out-of-network traps. Cut out the corporate middlemen.

2. Comprehensive Coverage

• Includes dental, vision, mental health, gender-affirming care, prescriptions, and long-term care.

• If it affects your body or brain, it’s covered.

• Check-ups, screenings, and labs free at the point of service.

3. Slash Drug and Device Prices

• Medicare negotiates directly with manufacturers.

• Create a federal Office of Generic Manufacturing to break monopolies and stop price-gouging.

4. End Hospital Price-Gouging

• Cap hospital bills at 120% of Medicare rates.

• Ban surprise “facility fees.”

• Tie nonprofit hospital CEO pay to community-health outcomes, not revenue growth.

5. Fix Care Deserts

• Full tuition for medical, dental, and nursing students who serve five years in underserved areas.

• Fully fund community health centers and mobile clinics so no one drives more than 30 minutes for primary care.

6. Mental-Health Parity

• Hire mental-health professionals through a federal service corps.

• Require every K-12 school to have a full-time counselor and nurse.

7. Research and Innovation

• Double the NIH budget.

• Launch a national trial-matching portal to democratize access to cutting-edge care.

• Science moves faster when billionaires and for-profit monopolies aren’t gatekeeping treatment.

How we pay

• Replace today’s employer and employee premiums with a single payroll tax that is lower than what most households and businesses currently pay. Everyone gets more care for less money, with no surprise bills.

• Close the tax break for corporate “Cadillac” plans that favor executives over workers.

• End Medicare Advantage waste and pharmacy benefit manager kickbacks. This alone would save about $150 billion every year.

• Wealth Reclaim Pillar: Health, this pillar of the Wealth Reclamation Tax will also be funded by a 0.5% tax on Wall Street transactions — reclaiming wealth from unchecked speculation and reinvesting it in the people and communities it was extracted from.

Healthcare is a human right, not a corporate revenue stream.
