We need to prioritize policies that create the opportunity for universal, affordable access to quality healthcare for all Americans. The current system, heavily influenced by political agendas and profit-driven insurance companies, leaves millions of people vulnerable.

These political shifts can have immediate and severe consequences, affecting everything from eligibility for programs to the coverage of specific medical treatments.
