Brian Munroe

HEALTHCARE
Accessibility & Affordability: During my 2019 campaign for Bucks County Clerk of Courts, I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. Fortunately, I had access to quality healthcare and quality health insurance, which allowed me to receive chemotherapy treatment. Because of this, I was cured of the cancer. When I saw the bills, I knew that without insurance, I would be either dead or bankrupt. I believe no one should ever be forced to make such a devastating decision!

Reproductive Rights: As the father of two daughters, I believe strongly that women have the right to make their own reproductive choices. I also believe the government has no right to interfere in decisions which should be made between women and their doctor.

Opioid Epidemic: The opioid epidemic crushes every aspect of our district. I will work to improve treatment options and regulated recovery housing. I commend programs such as the Bucks County Drug Court and believe they should be expanded. We need to offer as many paths to recovery and out of addiction as possible.

Mental Health: Mental Healthcare is a Human Right. I understand that there is currently a mental health epidemic across the country. Care and treatment for these issues is often hard to find and/or above the budget of many people. People in need of psychiatric help should not have to make the choice between waiting months for a provider who accepts insurance or breaking their budget to see one who doesn’t. In the State House, I will advocate for more access to affordable mental healthcare for all Pennsylvanians.
