For most of the history of the American empire, government has been a tool for preserving and furthering the power and might of white male corporate elites. - Cornel West

Over the past week or two, we have seen a flurry of ads coming from the GOP claiming (bizarrely) that they are defenders of healthcare. For years, healthcare has been the issue at the forefront of the minds of most Americans. The Republican Party is now trying to capitalize on this with deceitful healthcare propositions.
Let’s be clear; Here is my plan for healthcare reform in America:
·         Add a public Medicare buy-in option at age 55
·         Fully fund and reauthorize the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
·         Legalize medicinal marijuana
·         Allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies
·         Pass a $1 trillion infrastructure reform act that includes funding for hospitals in rural regions
·         Require insurance plans cover 12-month supplies of birth control
·         Allow Americans to cross the border into Canada to purchase medicine
·         Pass legislation that allows Americans to keep their doctors under any changes in the US healthcare system
·         Pass legislation that sets the stage to implement and pay for a universal, Medicare-for-All healthcare system by 2028
And here is the GOP plan:
·         Legalize discrimination against pre-existing conditions
·         Refuse to expand Medicaid in most red states, leaving their residents without care
·         Repeal the Affordable Care Act
·         Allow healthcare providers to discriminate against minorities
·         Create an avenue for healthcare prices to skyrocket
You do the math. My plan is better for America on healthcare. Once I am elected, I will fight in Congress to pass legislation that expands the scope of health coverage, not shrinks it. Don’t believe the GOP lies, and don’t let them cover their tracks. Vote Democrat on November 6th, and donate to campaigns that will fight for accessible healthcare for everyone. 

Sincerely,
 Sean Carrigan
