Major Positions
|
End corporate personhood/Money equals speech
To address Citizens United and other US Supreme Court decisions which have given corporations our human rights, we need a 28th Constitutional amendment. Such an amendment has been proposed - HJR48, the We The People Amendment.
Additionally, we need an effective system of public funding for candidates running for federal offices. Therefore, I support passage of Government By the People Act (H.R.20) and the Fair Elections Now Act (S.1538). I would sign on immediately as a co-sponsor of all this legislation. |
Health Care is a human right
The Affordable Care Act has improved access to health insurance. But we don't need health insurance. We need universal, affordable access to health care. I suppose the current Congressional proposals for an improved single payer program to replace the current health "system". Such a system has been proposed as Medicare for All Act of 2021, HR 1976,
I support this statement by Physicians For A National Health Program: We propose to replace the ACA with a publicly financed National Health Program that would fully cover medical care for all Americans, while lowering costs by eliminating the profit driven private insurance industry with its massive overhead. |
