HEALTH CARE

Our healthcare system is sick care not health care. We must abolish the for-profit system.

• Address the inequities within healthcare as a nation. While the president does not have the power to address this issue alone, we can collectively value equity in health care by promoting diversity and trust in the medical industry and hold healthcare professionals accountable to our American values. Ask for buy-in of medical community to promote honesty and transparency for doctors and patients alike. Give citizens more ownership in their personal health. Promote a path of education for marginalized groups to gain education necessary to serve specific populations. (more therapists, doctors, surgeons, etc to increase representation of marginalized groups to ensure trust-building)
• Ensure the pharmaceutical and insurance industries work for the people, not the other way around.
• Health care is a basic human right and any country unwilling to ensure the health of the people will solidify the death of a nation.
• Make mental health a priority and include it in all health care plans.
• Medicare for All. Our government should serve the people. Other countries have universal healthcare that is cheaper than what Americans are paying now. The question is not, can we afford it, the question is, will we invest in the people to ensure prosperity in our nation? The reality is that we can’t afford the current system. It is costing us not only our life-savings, but our lives.
• Partner with Department of Health and Human Services to educate Americans about holistic health and its value. Appoint Secretary of HHS who will prioritize education on new standards, vaccines, and expectations of health care to the people.
• Take a holistic approach to the health of the people. Mental health, physical health and emotional well-being all decide the health of a person. If we want to be leaders of the free world, we must think in this way. Balance for the individual creates prosperity for a nation.
