2020 NE Senatorial race: on Health Care


Chris Janicek: Health care shouldn't be an expense but an investment

Janicek said, "We don't have a health insurance crisis in this country; we have a health care crisis. That's caused by the for-profit health insurance business. Health care should not be an expense; it should be an investment. Almost half of the rural hospitals in Nebraska operate in the red."

Chris Janicek: Health care for millions will be my number one priority

I will advocate health care for all Americans. The for-profit insurance industry is destroying access and affordability for the majority of Nebraskans and Americans. Your current senator has voted over and over, and I will say it one more time, over to take health care away from millions, and to do away with pre-existing condition protections. A single payer plan with massive cost cuts and an end to outrageous CEO pay will provide immediate results. Health care will be my number one priority.
