Care closer to home for every family

Neighbors at a community wellness class

. The story

Ask a room of parents what keeps them up at night and healthcare costs come up before almost anything else. A child's asthma inhaler. A mother's insulin. A father's skipped checkup that becomes an emergency. This plan treats those kitchen-table fears as the policy emergency they are.

Where the plan hits first

1. Prices you can predict

Negotiated drug prices, capped insulin, and an end to surprise bills — so a diagnosis never becomes a debt sentence.

2. Care within reach

Twenty-four new community health centers plus mobile units for rural routes and night-shift workers.

3. Minds treated like bodies

Enforced parity so therapy and counseling are covered like any other care — starting with counselors in every school.

“My son's inhaler cost more than our groceries some months. A plan that caps that price isn't politics to me — it's survival.”

— Priya S., mother of two, at the Neighborhood Listening Session
