Health Care

There's no more basic human need than the need for good health. I believe in quality, affordable health care that is accessible to everyone. Our dedicated and talented doctors should be the ones guiding our health decisions, not insurance company executives. 

While working towards comprehensive health care reform such as the Colorado Health Services Program, I have supported important legislative steps to increase access, improve quality, and lower insurance rates.

In the state legislature, I have worked to increase accountability and transparency for insurance companies, expand eligibility for public health insurance programs, make sure children eligible for programs like CHP+ and Medicaid are signed up, provide for professional peer review at Ambulatory Surgical Centers, allow CSU to provide graduate student health insurance, and ensure that kidney dialysis technicians are certified and properly trained.
