“I’m fighting to bring down the cost of healthcare in Maryland’s Fifth because healthcare is a right, not a luxury. Families are paying too much for prescription drugs, premiums, and deductibles while corporations profit.

No one should have to choose between groceries and lifesaving care. It’s time to deliver real solutions that guarantee universal access to high quality, affordable healthcare for all Marylanders.
