Positions
Healthcare
The candidate emphasizes lowering everyday healthcare costs and making care more affordable, saying families are choosing between medicine and groceries and that insurance “feels like a scam.” The campaign site frames healthcare as a cost-relief priority but does not set out specific policy prescriptions (for example, support for Medicare for All, a public option, or market-based reforms).
