Healthy California

Healthcare is a right — not a privilege

While California has made tremendous strides in expanding access to healthcare, the fact remains that we must continue this work to expand access to healthcare to all. I also believe we must include prescription drugs as part of our coverage. I am committed to addressing the critical issues that affect the well-being of Californians. One of the most pressing concerns in our state is the state of our healthcare system.

 

Universal Healthcare Coverage

I will advocate for a universal healthcare system that ensures every Californian has access to quality medical care, regardless of their income, employment, or pre-existing conditions.

     

Preventive Care and Education

I will prioritize investments in preventive healthcare measures, aiming to reduce the burden of chronic diseases and improve overall public health.

• Implement programs that focus on health education, disease prevention, and early intervention to foster a healthier population.

 

Reducing Prescription Drug Costs

I will work to enact legislation that curbs the soaring costs of prescription drugs, making essential medications more affordable for all Californians.

 

Mental Health and Well-being

We are facing a mental health crisis in California, and here in Los Angeles. In Sacramento, I will work tirelessly to identify the most successful programs for helping those with mental health issues to find solutions and remedies that will help them live a normal life and reunite with their families, rebuild their careers, and live a long and healthy life. To do so, we must:

​

• Increased funding for mental health programs that work, expand counseling and treatment for anyone in need, and fully integrate mental health into primary care.

• We must also look at creating thousands more supportive housing units with on-site care, and 24-hour services.

• We must help people get into quality shelter and to deal with any addictions.
