Healthcare is a fundamental human right, not a privilege for those who can afford it. We must take immediate action to expand Medicaid, lower the crushing cost of prescription drugs, and firmly protect reproductive rights from government overreach. Mike's Promise "I will always stand against efforts to restrict reproductive freedom and work tirelessly to expand healthcare access so every family gets the care they need."

Reproductive freedom is under attack. Women deserve access to comprehensive healthcare, including abortion services. I'll fight to protect a woman's right to choose and ensure access to contraception, prenatal care, and family planning services. Our daughters deserve the same freedoms our mothers had. Mike's Promise "I'll defend reproductive rights and women's healthcare access."
