2020 WY Senate race: on Health Care


Merav Ben-David: Strongly supports expanded Medicaid, universal health care

Wyoming should expand Medicaid. In 2019, nearly 54,000 Wyomingites were enrolled in Medicaid and the Children Health Insurance Program - a far cry from the 73,000 who would have been eligible under Medicaid expansion. While some were able to get health insurance through the Affordable Care Act, at least 6,000 were left without access. Leaving people uninsured during the COVID19 pandemic is unconscionable. I will argue forcefully for Universal Health Care.

Merav Ben-David: Supports single-payer, universal health care

Ben-David offered her support for a single-payer, universal health care system, arguing the costs of health care will go down "if everybody is part of the (same) system." "The Affordable Care Act is a very good step in ensuring Americans have insurance, but I believe that we need to make sure that everyone has access to health care, including rural states and rural hospitals, and that's why I support a universal, single-payer health care system for the United States."

Yana Ludwig: Universal healthcare guarantee; deprivatize health insurance

Healthcare: I propose a universal healthcare guarantee (which needs to include abortion on demand, birth control, mental health services, and full funding of the Veteran's Administration healthcare system). I further favor the deprivatization of health insurance and pharmaceuticals. Finally, marijuana needs to be legalized, people incarcerated for marijuana convictions need to be released and their records for those "offenses" wiped.
