HEALTHCARE
In Colorado, health care is simply too expensive for most families. Access to quality health care is essential for Colorado families to live safe, vibrant, and happy lives. Health care is a human right. I plan to build on the progress we have already made at the state legislature.
My 2023 Sponsored Legislation:
SB23-174: Requires that certain behavioral health services are required for Medicaid recipients who are under 21 years of age.
SB23-068: Increases accountability of and resources for four rural hospitals including Memorial Regional Health in Craig.
HB23-1268: Ensures that people in need of mental health treatment get the resources they need before criminal proceedings.
SB23-004: Streamlines the hiring process to increase students’ access to mental health resources.
As your representative, I will continue to:
Work to lower health insurance costs.
Advocate for a decrease in the price of prescription drugs.
Defend a woman's right to make her own health care decisions.
Represent constituents and stakeholders invested in health care.
