Families are paying too much for prescription drugs, premiums, and deductibles while corporations profit. At the same time, Donald Trump and Republicans are gutting Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act and undermining protections millions rely on. 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. This includes passing Medicare for All with a public option.”

“Establish universal health coverage. Establish universal health coverage, so that every Marylander can see a doctor when they need to, not just when they can afford to.”

“Universal Healthcare is a must.”
