Elizabeth spent years undiagnosed with a genetic disease because the healthcare system failed her. She knows what it's like to be dismissed by doctors, to ration care because of cost, and to fight for answers that should come with compassion.

As a nurse and patient advocate for over a decade, she's seen the system from both sides. And she knows exactly what needs to change.

What Elizabeth Will Do:

Lower Prescription Drug Costs

• Cap insulin at $35 for all Americans, not just Medicare recipients

• Allow Medicare to negotiate prices for all prescription drugs, not just 10

• End pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) price gouging that inflates costs

• Create transparency requirements so patients know the real cost of medications

• Why it matters: Elizabeth has watched patients ration insulin and skip cancer treatments because they couldn't afford them. No one should die because Big Pharma prioritizes profits over people.

Defend and Expand Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security

• Oppose any attempts to cut or privatize these programs or to raise the retirement age

• Expand Medicare to include dental, vision, and hearing coverage

• Close the Medicaid gap so no one falls through the cracks

• Strengthen Social Security by making millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share

• Why it matters: These aren't "entitlements"—you've paid into them your entire working life. Elizabeth will protect what you've earned.

Fully Resource the VA

• End the veteran suicide crisis with comprehensive mental health services

• Eliminate wait times for veteran healthcare appointments

• Expand VA coverage for conditions linked to military service

• Support veteran caregivers and families

• Why it matters: With the sacrifices veterans make, they deserve the very BEST care the United States has to offer.

Protect Patients from Medical Errors and Ensure Price Transparency

• Require hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies to clearly disclose black box medication warnings AND document patient awareness and acceptance of those risks

• Mandate price transparency before procedures

• Strengthen patient safety protocols and whistleblower protections

• End surprise medical billing once and for all

• Why it matters: Elizabeth survived a surgical accident that paralyzed her dominant arm. She knows what happens when the system fails to protect patients—and she'll make sure it never happens to you.

Expand Access to Mental Health and Behavioral Health Services

• Integrate behavioral health into primary care settings

• Increase funding for community mental health clinics

• Address the national mental health workforce shortage

• Expand telehealth access for rural and underserved communities

• Why it matters: Mental health is healthcare. Period.
