I’ve sat beside parents who don’t know how they’ll pay for their child’s medication. I’ve seen hospitals close their doors and leave entire communities without care. Healthcare should be something every family can count on, not something you have to fight for.

Lindsey Graham has voted to make healthcare more expensive over and over again. He’s worked to slash Medicaid, roll back ACA subsidies, and gut funding for the Department of Health and Human Services. He stood by while public health experts were pushed out of government and misinformation spread faster than a virus. Families are paying the price for that neglect.

In the Senate, I’ll work to:

• Advocate for policies like a public option that expand access to affordable healthcare for all South Carolinians
• Make mental health care easier to find and afford
• Protect and expand Medicaid and Medicare
• Lower the cost of prescription drugs
• Defend and restore scientific research that leads to new cures
• Strengthen vaccine access and public-health preparedness
• Keep rural hospitals open
  

Everyone deserves the peace of mind that if they or their child get sick, they can see a doctor without going broke.
