Universal Healthcare
Healthcare is a right, not a place for profits. It’s not enough to guarantee access to healthcare when so few Delawareans can afford to use it. No one should ever go into debt to stay healthy. It’s time for a single payer system that provides comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and mental healthcare.
Our Vision & Core Policies
Medicare for All
Fight for a single payer healthcare system that includes comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and mental healthcare
Ensure that Medicare for All legislation covers home, community, and facility-based long term care, in-patient and out-patient services, substance abuse treatment, reproductive care, and prescription drugs
Include gender-affirming surgery and hormone therapy as part of Medicare for All legislation
Improve our Health Infrastructure
Switch to a global budgeting model based on need to fund our hospitals and clinics
Address the Primary Care Physician shortage in our country by making our public universities tuition-free
Lower the Price of Prescription Drugs
Allow our single payer system to negotiate with drug companies
Import drugs from other industrialized countries to lower prices and provide patients with more options
Hold pharmaceutical companies accountable for predatory practices and price gouging
Fight for Health Equity
Repeal the Hyde Amendment
End medical bias and eradicate health disparities for people of color, LGBTQ+, indigenous, and rural communities by fully funding community-based health centers, building up our health infrastructure in low income and majority Black and brown communities, and increasing diversity in the medical profession
Decommodify medical research and destroy patent monopolies
Combat the Opioid Crisis
Hold manufacturers liable and require them to fund the treatment programs necessary to end the epidemic
