Health Care

Fixing our Broken Health Insurance System - our health insurance system is broken - it fails to cover many of our fellow citizens, it produces poor outcomes, and it costs far more than in any other large, advanced country. It is time to get serious about fixing it.    ​

Restoring Reproductive Rights - Texas' ban on abortion harms patients and our communities in many ways.To restore these rights (and protect others now at risk), we need to elect legislators who will respect reproductive rights, including the right to choose an abortion.

Protecting and Expanding Medicare - Medicare is a vital source of health insurance for Americans, especially those 65 and over, and it works well.  But without action it is not sustainable. 

​Reducing Maternal Mortality - Maternal mortality in Texas is above the national average and far above other advanced countries.  Responsible policies can save lives. 

Expanding Medicaid for a Healthier Texas - Expanding Medicaid would increase insurance coverage, improve Texans' health, strengthen our economy and protect rural hospitals. 

​​Protecting Rural Hospitals in Texas - Too many are closing, with severe negative consequences for rural communities and health.
