I think improving healthcare affordability should be a top priority of our leaders in Washington DC. Not putting forward message bills, but making practical changes to existing law to make prices on health insurance come down, and ensure people have access to affordable healthcare at all stages of life.

While I’m quite young and relatively healthy still, I am well aware how the high-cost of health insurance outside of a job can be a limit. Even if I have enough money at some point in the future to retire or work part time, in a place where I actually want to live, having access to affordable care may prove difficult. I am not sure if we should be going for universal care, but we should be going for something that is better and more affordable for all.
