Healthcare for All

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. Angela is fighting for a healthcare system that works for everyone — no premiums, no copays, no exclusions based on income, immigration status, or employment.

• CA-34's uninsured rate is 15.6%, well above the national average of 9.8%
  

Co-Sponsoring Medicare for All

Angela will co-sponsor Medicare for All (H.R. 3069) — a comprehensive, single-payer system that guarantees care to every person in America. It 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
  

Investing in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Care

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

• Integrate these services into primary care and community health networks

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

Strengthening Local Community Health Centers

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

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

• Ensure clinics have staffing and resources for comprehensive, trauma-informed, culturally competent care
