Healthcare is a human right. Too many Americans are stuck with unpayable hospital bills, or don’t even risk seeking care for fear of financial instability. The most important thing we can do for our communities is to ensure they’re healthy and have access to the care they need. There are too many developed countries that are healthier than us despite spending far less, and we should be able to accomplish the same. To fix this issue, Harry will:
- Protect and expand the Affordable Care Act, and build on it by supporting Medicare for All.
- Fight to reduce the prices of prescription drugs by protecting and expanding key Inflation Reduction Act reforms like Medicare negotiation, inflationary rebates, and other measures that hold pharmaceutical companies accountable.
- Support Maryland’s innovative all-payer health care system to continue to make sure that everyone is receiving equal care in quality and affordability, regardless of their insurance status.
