Healthcare is a human right — not a privilege reserved for the wealthy or well-connected. In CA-34, too many people are forced to skip doctor visits, ration prescriptions, or avoid care altogether because they simply can’t afford it. Families face impossible choices between paying medical bills and putting food on the table, while our healthcare system continues to prioritize profits over people.

Angela is fighting for a healthcare system that works for everyone — no premiums, no copays, no exclusions based on income, immigration status, or employment. It's time to deliver the care our communities deserve.

Co-Sponsoring Medicare for All

Angela proudly supports and will co-sponsor Medicare for All — a comprehensive, single-payer healthcare system that guarantees care to every person in America, regardless of their background, status, or bank account.

Medicare for All would:

• Eliminate premiums, copays, deductibles, and surprise bills

• Cover vision, dental, mental health, and reproductive healthcare

• Expand access to gender-affirming care, addiction treatment, and long-term care

• End the influence of private insurance companies that currently drive up costs and deny necessary care

This is about more than reform — it's about transformation. Healthcare should be about healing, not paperwork and profits.

Investing in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Care

Our country is facing a mental health crisis — and the federal government must meet the moment. Angela will fight to:

• Increase Medicaid reimbursement rates and federal grant funding for mental health and substance use disorder services

• Ensure these services are integrated into primary care and community health networks

• Expand access to peer support programs, housing-first recovery models, and culturally competent care

Too many lives have been lost because people didn’t get the help they needed in time. We must treat mental health as essential health — because it is.

Strengthening Local Community Health Centers

Community health centers are the front lines of care in neighborhoods like ours — and Angela knows they are a lifeline for working families, immigrants, and the uninsured.

She will fight to:

• Expand federal funding for community health centers to offer services regardless of insurance, immigration status, or ability to pay

• Invest in mobile clinics, translation services, and telehealth infrastructure

• Ensure clinics have the staffing and resources to provide comprehensive, trauma-informed, and culturally competent care

Healthcare should be local, trusted, and accessible to all — not dependent on a ZIP code or insurance card.
