Sarah Elfreth;
Statement on
Healthcare.

"Strengthening our Healthcare System

Sarah believes everyone deserves access to healthcare, and she knows that preventative care improves patients’ quality of life, delivers better outcomes, and lowers costs. In the Maryland Senate, she passed a law to secure millions of dollars for prenatal care for expecting mothers because prenatal care ensures healthy moms, healthy pregnancies, and healthy babies. She also passed a law targeting health disparities by providing additional resources to disproportionately affected communities. She also supported the creation of the first-of-its-kind Prescription Drug Affordability Board and capped the cost of insulin to bring down the cost of life-saving prescription medicines. On Capitol Hill, she will fight to protect the Affordable Care Act from right-wing attacks and to expand coverage to the nearly 30 million Americans without health insurance. She will also work to expand cancer screenings for first responders, guarantee that Medicare can negotiate drug prices for our Seniors, and reduce costs for millions of Americans."
