Health
I believe that access to affordable, quality health care is a basic human right. As your representative, I am committed to supporting legislation that improves health outcomes and supports public health initiatives.
Throughout my time in the New York State Legislature and as Westchester County Executive, I worked to expand access to affordable healthcare for all. Additionally, I worked to establish programs, such as the Project Alliance Program, that works to improve behavioral and mental health by implementing comprehensive crisis intervention strategies.
My work to expand access to healthcare has remained a priority during my time in Congress. I am a proud cosponsor of legislation that furthers the fight to ensure care for all, such as the H.R. 879 Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act, H.R. 1262 Give Kids a Chance Act, and H.R. 1509 Accelerating Kids' Access to Care Acts.
Additionally, I am an advocate for strengthening and expanding both Medicaid and Medicare, ensuring that seniors and people with disabilities can rely on these programs for healthcare coverage. As such, I’m a cosponsor of the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act, which ensures that physicians are adequately reimbursed for the care they are providing to America’s seniors.

As your representative, affordability is my top priority. The Healthcare Premiums Survey is an ongoing project dedicated to documenting the effect that rising healthcare premiums have had on American consumers. If you are a constituent who has been affected by climbing healthcare premiums alongside the ongoing cost of living crisis, please consider filling out this survey.
