Pillar 1
Healthcare for All
The Problem → My Policy Plan → Outcomes
THE PROBLEM
WHAT WE'RE UP AGAINST
Premiums rise every year. Mental health care is unreachable for most. Maternal mortality for Black women is 3x the state average. Prevention is treated like a luxury.
MY POLICY PLAN
WHAT WE'LL DO ON DAY ONE, AND BEYOND
Prevention-First model: free annual wellness, screenings, and dental for every Californian.
Integrated mental + physical health: a therapist within 48 hours, statewide.
Cap insulin, inhalers, and EpiPens at $25. End surprise billing for emergency care, period.
Expand healthcare workforce training and loan forgiveness for nurses, therapists, and primary care doctors.
California Cares: a public option offering coverage at cost to every resident.

OUTCOMES
What success looks like

“I have personally struggled with mental health, and I know how hard it is when you can't afford help. Every Californian deserves access to quality healthcare without going broke.”
