Said, "Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. In an environment where insurance premiums are skyrocketing, I will support policies to bring down healthcare costs so families don’t have to choose between getting medical care and putting food on the table. We must make prescriptions affordable, strengthen mental health care for children and adults, and protect access to quality care in rural communities so every Kentuckian deserves the chance to stay healthy and thrive."

Believes healthcare is a right and will support policies to reduce healthcare costs while protecting access to quality care.
