Every American family deserves to have options for quality healthcare in their community. We need to invest in a single-payer healthcare system and community health centers that serve people in rural and urban areas alike, especially our most at-risk groups.
Cinde supports practical solutions for lowering healthcare costs and improving access to care for every Hoosier community through a single-payer healthcare system.
We need to invest in community health centers and provide incentives for patients and providers to promote preventative care. Cinde favors restoring quality, community-based healthcare options, reducing costs by making premiums more affordable and reducing out-of-pocket expenses. She’ll also work to cap prescription drug costs while maintaining protections for those with preexisting conditions and prohibiting lifetime coverage caps.
These protections are especially important for LGBTQIA+ persons and those seeking reproductive and pregnancy care. Legislators have no place in the exam room. We must trust people to make those decisions for themselves. Cinde will fight to restore safeguards for healthcare freedoms – for every Hoosier.
Social Security is meant to provide financial stability and peace of mind for people in retirement, not to create corporate profits. However, years of unfair, Republican-led policies have placed higher tax burdens on low- and average-income workers, all while shielding the ultra-wealthy. Cinde will work to ensure the rich pay their fair share by raising the cap on taxable earnings to $400,000. That will help keep the system solvent for decades.
Healthy aging and the ability to age in the place one chooses is critical to healthy communities. Cinde believes in Medicare for all. She supports enacting safeguards that will protect Social Security and Medicare for the generations to come.
Cinde is committed to ensuring our military service members receive the highest quality healthcare possible. She will work to secure full funding for VA services. Our veterans gave to our country and it is our duty to ensure they have the healthcare they need when they need care.
Cinde supports legalizing medical cannabis and decriminalizing the possession of cannabis. She has spoken out against the federal ban on cannabis and cannabis products.
Like surrounding states, Indiana needs to work with law enforcement agencies, health care groups and other stakeholders so that Hoosier patients with medical conditions can legally access cannabis and hemp products as alternatives to highly addictive opiates.
