Merav Ben-David on Health Care

 

 


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.

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."
