Denise Powell

Far too many families in this district find themselves forced to choose between seeing a doctor and paying their rent. Filling a prescription instead of filling the fridge. Many families are one health emergency away from financial ruin. In Congress, Powell will: Take on big pharmaceutical companies by requiring Medicare to negotiate prices for more prescription drugs and capping insulin costs at $35 a month for everyone. Take on insurance companies that unfairly deny people coverage for needed health care. Work to create a Medicare-like public option that gives every American the choice of affordable coverage while protecting private insurance for those who want it. Build on the Affordable Care Act to make sure that – no matter how they access their health insurance – families aren’t forced to spend an unreasonable share of their income on premiums and deductibles.
