Why Medicare for All in rural America?
Friend - On the campaign trail, I have been discussing rural health frequently because it’s vital for all of us. Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula cannot fall victim to for-profit models and become a healthcare desert.
Friend, First, I want to make a hard-ask. Contributing to my campaign will help me advocate for the dire change we need in healthcare. If you're already on board with a new vision, I need your help. Like healthcare, I believe that politics and money don't mix, which is why I exclusively come to grassroots supporters like you. If you're able, $5, $25, $50 can make a difference for us. No corporate PACs, no dark money, no ultra wealthy corporate mega-donors. It's just you and me. Friend, to save millions of lives and billions of taxpayer's dollars, we need Medicare for All. To get elected, I need you. Please chip in what you can.

Friend Healthcare corporations are justifying the closure of rural healthcare services in Northern Michigan, citing "staff shortages," "expenses," and "regulation." Yet, the salaries of their out-of-state executives are skyrocketing. Even non-profit healthcare organizations are not immune. Due to a Trump-era 20% tax on executive salaries for non-profits, McLaren Health is taxed $1.6 million on their CEO's bloated $8 million/year salary. Because of this so-called "regulation" and "expense," instead of cutting executive pay enough to prevent closures, they are shutting down an eight-bed hospice facility in our district and blaming it on staff shortages. The healthcare system in America needs to be completely flipped. I know a doctor / Congressional candidate to do it, and I know a system that will put patients first.
