Friend Healthcare corporations in our district 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 #MI01 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. #MedicareForAll

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.

If you've stored your information with Act Blue Express, your donation will process immediately.
