El-Sayed argues that every American deserves guaranteed healthcare regardless of what they do for work, so coverage is not tied to an employer.
It’s so hard for us to even offer the health insurance to people.
WHAT HE HAS SAID
- Argues that every American deserves guaranteed healthcare regardless of what they do for work.
- Would push to extend Medicare to every American from cradle to grave, with no premiums, copays, or deductibles, so a union or employer plan becomes unnecessary.
- Wants to abolish medical debt, just as he did for more than 300,000 Michiganders in Wayne County.
- Would fight for an economy where anyone can start and grow a business to build wealth for themselves, their family, their co-workers, and their communities.
- Supports investment in small business revolving loan funds as part of his response to the risk of massive automation of jobs.
