Health Care
Connie Chan supports Medicare for All which guarantees that every American has a right to health care, everyone is covered, and the health care system is no longer driven by insurance companies. Connie will work to enact this critical legislation when elected to Congress.
Connie also knows we have to protect the hard-won gains Americans have made thanks to the Affordable Care Act. She will push to restore funding to Medicaid, and renew subsidies that allowed families to buy insurance on the ACA exchanges. She will also support additional funding for community health clinics and restore the program to negotiate lower prescription drug prices.
Connie also knows that health care research, funded by the federal government, has been fundamental in improving countless lives over the last century. San Francisco has been at the heart of these ground-breaking medical discoveries. She will fight against cuts to medical research and will demand a return to sound and non-politicized science at the FDA, CDC and other agencies that research or approve health care treatments.
