Healthcare costs are skyrocketing and our republican-led legislature is doing nothing to stop it!
Having an affordable health care system is possible in Missouri. As a representative, I have a responsibility to our community to ensure our neighbors can afford their medications and doctors visits. We can work to lower prescription drug prices. We can fund the clinics in the state that offer free and low cost care to those most in need and help start new ones in areas where healthcare access is lacking.
Access to abortion is necessary healthcare. We must overturn Missouri’s “Heartbeat Bill“ and work to bring more OBGYN’s to Missouri so no area is without access to reproductive healthcare. We must also ensure that access to contraception is protected and education on how to avoid pregnancy and STIs is easily available to all Missourians.
Access to behavioral healthcare is vital for our state. We must work with already existing systems to make mental healthcare more accessible and inform more folks in our community of the ways those in need can get the help they require.
