Healthcare

You shouldn’t have to choose between getting health care and putting food on your table. Privatization has made health care more expensive, less accessible, and often located outside our communities. In rural areas like ours, the care you need could be over an hour away.

The Problem

  • Healthcare costs keep going up, and there is no sign of them stopping.
  • In our district, many are uninsured and don’t get the health care they need.
  • A fifth of residents are on Medicaid, but they are losing coverage.
  • Everyone is paying more, but getting less.

Mark’s Plan

  • Protect the expansion of Medicare coverage.
  • Hold privatized health services, which are vital to our rural communities, accountable to their promises.
  • Get serious about ensuring affordable healthcare for everyone.

Why It Matters

Affordable, accessible healthcare is necessary for healthy families, strong towns, and a good economy. We can make sure no one in Jackson, Swain, and Transylvania counties is left without the care they deserve.
