Jennifer understands that quality healthcare is fundamental to a successful, flourishing society. She supports expanding Medicaid and ensuring that Medicaid waiver programs do not limit access to quality care for Pennsylvania’s communities. As a legislator, she advocates for streamlining the waiver process to reduce wait times for essential care and works to uphold the Affordable Care Act’s provisions protecting individuals with pre-existing conditions.
Jennifer is also fighting to improve health coverage for Pennsylvanians with disabilities. As the daughter of a chronically-disabled worker and the wife of a severely-disabled veteran, Jennifer knows firsthand the challenges facing those who are disabled. As a legislator, she has worked to expand the health benefits savings account so people with disabilities can save more than $10,000 without losing their benefits.
Jennifer further recognizes that large steps need to be taken to help treat those with substance use disorders to keep them and their communities safe. She supports lowering barriers to treatment and ensuring that all communities, including poor and rural communities, have access to high-quality, evidence-based care for those struggling with addiction. Jennifer advocates for the treatments supported by the American Medical Association to give everyone struggling with opioid addiction the chance to get back on their feet.
In her district, Jennifer has fought to make healthcare as accessible as possible to the people who need it. She has worked with Springfield Cares to provide those struggling with substance use disorder with the resources they need to combat addiction. She is an advocate for the new Delaware County Health Department and helped secure funding for the department in the state budget. Lastly, she’s been an opponent of hospital closures, and is working hard to keep these important sources of medical care—not to mention jobs—in Delco.
