Affordable Healthcare for All
Access to affordable, high-quality health care is essential for every Colorado family to thrive - including access to reproductive health care and abortion. Health care is a human right, and no one should have to choose between paying their bills and taking care of their health. In recent years, we've made real progress in lowering the costs of insulin and prescription drugs, but there is still more to do. I am committed to building on this momentum, defending reproductive rights, and fighting for policies that make health care accessible and affordable for all Coloradans so everyone in our community can lead safe, healthy, and fulfilling lives.​​
