Healthcare You Can Count On

Everyone deserves care they can afford and access—no exceptions, no barriers. In TX-17 and across the country, too many families are forced to choose between paying their bills and getting the medical care they need. The current healthcare system puts profits ahead of patients, leaving millions uninsured, underinsured, or burdened by sky-high costs.J. Gordon Mitchell believes it’s time for bold, national action to fix our broken healthcare system. That’s why he supports Medicare for All or a strong public option—solutions that guarantee every American access to high-quality care, regardless of income, employment, or pre-existing conditions.J. Gordon Mitchell’s plan for healthcare reform includes:

• Expanding Medicare to everyone who wants it, giving every American the choice of a comprehensive, affordable public plan that covers doctor visits, hospital care, prescriptions, vision, dental, and mental health services.
• Lowering prescription drug costs by allowing Medicare to negotiate prices directly with pharmaceutical companies and capping out-of-pocket expenses for families.
• Eliminating surprise medical bills and hidden fees that drive families into debt.
• Protecting reproductive freedom and ensuring that essential services like maternal health, contraception, and abortion care are available to all who need them.
• Expanding mental health and substance abuse services, recognizing that mental health is just as important as physical health.
• Investing in rural health clinics and telehealth, so that small towns and rural communities receive the same quality care as urban centers.
• Ending discrimination in healthcare—regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or disability.

With J. Gordon Mitchell’s leadership, America can finally put people—not profits—at the center of our healthcare system. No one should go broke to get well. Together, we can build a future where healthcare is a guaranteed right for every Texan and every American.
