Andres Santiago

Candidate for Pennsylvania House of Representatives (PA-5)

Excessive medical bills are one of the most common reasons for declaring bankruptcy in the United States. Other first and even third world countries do not have this issue. I would ideally like to see public healthcare, or Medicare for all. In the meantime, I will work to reduce prescription drug prices and protect credits that help middle and low income families of Pennsylvania afford health insurance. Local and rural hospitals should be provided enough funding, so long as they maintain compliance required to remain as non-profit . I am pro choice, and believe that is a right and decision to be made between a pregnant person and their healthcare provider. I will work to provide adequate funding for mental health and suicide prevention programs such as the 988 hotline.

To date, we have not yet received a submission from this candidate. The language above is pulled directly from their campaign or legislative website.
