Mental Health in America: Turning Talk into Action
Increase Funding for Community-Based Mental Health Facilities: Every community in America should have access to outpatient mental health services, providing affordable and timely care close to home. Expanding community-based care ensures that mental health services are accessible to people where they live, breaking down barriers like distance and cost.
Incentivize Mental Health Professionals: To meet the growing demand for mental health services, we need to address the workforce shortage by encouraging more people to enter the mental health profession. This can be achieved by:
Offering free community college programs for mental health-related fields to reduce the financial burden of education.
Providing student loan forgiveness for those who enter and remain in mental health careers, particularly in underserved areas.
Increasing salaries and benefits for mental health workers to reflect the critical role they play in public health.
Taking Back Our Healthcare System: Reducing Corporate Medical Costs
If we can achieve these two reforms, the U.S. will not only have the world’s best healthcare system but one that is accessible to all—regardless of wealth, status, or creed. This would lead to a higher standard of living for every American, ensuring that no one has to choose between financial security and their health.
Together, we can take on the medical oligarchs and build a healthcare system that truly belongs to the people—not to corporate interests. By reclaiming our healthcare system, we pave the way for a healthier, more equitable future for all.
Medicare for All: Health Care as a Right, Not a Privilege
I fully support the Medicare for All Act, which seeks to establish a national health insurance program based on a single-payer model. This system would provide comprehensive health care coverage to all Americans, ensuring they can access care without being charged at the time of service.
The program’s key goal is to eliminate restrictive networks, premiums, deductibles, co-pays, and surprise medical bills—creating a more equitable, efficient health care system that prioritizes patients over profits. By guaranteeing health care as a basic right for all people, we take a crucial step toward a healthier, fairer society.
