Better Affordability

Minnesotans are being crushed by cost-of-living increases… Inflation… Tariffs… and honestly a huge part of affordability comes down to healthcare. Nobody should have to choose between healthcare and groceries. We’re one of the wealthiest states in one of the wealthiest nations. There’s no reason so many people should be struggling. I believe an affordable Minnesota is one that enshrines a state healthcare plan. I truly believe healthcare is a right, but as soon as something has a 7000-dollar deductible attached to it, it doesn’t really feel like a right anymore does it? I’m a progressive who truly believes in progress, and I know sometimes we get so caught up in trying to find a perfect solution, we can let a good one escape us. My goal, if I’m elected, is to remind everyone that individual steps still make a difference in people’s daily lives. Making Minnesota affordable shouldn’t be a can we kick down the road in the pursuit of perfection. We have a chance to make things better for everyone right now and we need to use it.
