We already pay enough for universal healthcare!

We are getting robbed.

Americans SPEND MORE on healthcare than citizens of any peer nation but GET WORSE coverage. Nicole wants to fix that. Díaz-Balart voted for us to get EVEN LESS.

$5.5T

Annual U.S. healthcare spending.

$220B

American family medical debt.

LAST

U.S. ranking among peer nations in the Commonwealth Fund’s 2024 comparison.

The point

Cost is not the excuse.

We pay more than other wealthy countries and get less.

Nicole’s position

Universal healthcare.

Nicole supports the fastest responsible path to guaranteed care for every American: Medicare for All, a strong public option, Medicare buy-in, or any model that gets us to universal coverage.

  •  No more medical bankruptcy (67% of filings)
  •  No more medical debt ($220B currently)
  •  No more deaths due to lack of coverage
  •  No more pain and fear
  •  No more profits over people

America is the outlier

Most wealthy countries already guarantee healthcare. The United States spends more and still does not.

Why it costs so much

Corporate greed is the business model.

Private insurers, drug companies, billing vendors, and middlemen are taking their cut. A single-payer system cuts out much of that waste, gives the public more bargaining power, and replaces corporate gatekeeping with one guarantee: care when you need it.

Universal healthcare saves Americans money by cutting out the corruption.

Nicole lowers costs.

Díaz-Balart puts your coverage at risk.

You Pay $0

Universal healthcare. Eliminates costs. Peace of mind. More protection for families.

Mario Díaz-Balart

You Pay MORE

Voted against the ACA. Voted for repeal. Backed legislation CBO said would leave 23 million more people uninsured by 2026.


How we get there

A practical path to universal healthcare.

Protect the ACA Stop attacks on current coverage and preexisting condition protections.
Lower costs now Cut prescription prices, cap out-of-pocket costs, and end surprise bills.
Build to single payer Use a public option, Medicare buy-in, and Medicare expansion to reach universal coverage.

Healthcare should be guaranteed.


Nicole will fight for universal healthcare.

Díaz-Balart has fought against the protections people already have.
