Rachel's platform
- Healthcare for ALL is the goal. Publicly funded, single payer insurance saves everyone money. We need to increase taxation on the extremely wealthy to support these programs.
- For now, we need to protect Medicaid, Medicare, and Affordable Care Act premium tax credits.
- Medicare coverage for telehealth must be reinstated and protected now. Telehealth is crucial for rural Iowans, veterans, and people with disabilities.
- Access to mental health and substance abuse care for ALL.
- Reproductive care is a right: we need access and choice.
- Keep rural hospitals open!
- Address the cancer crisis through funding science.
- Public money for public schools: end the corrupt voucher system.
- Progress for ALL kids at their level.
- Invest in our kids: we need free breakfast and lunches in public schools.
- Rebuild Area Education Agencies instead of stripping them away.
- Living wages for ALL.
- LGBTQ+ rights are human rights.
- No eminent domain for private gain.
- Protect the second amendment -- and promote safer access through universal background checks, affordable safe storage, mental health screenings for children, and affordable, accessible mental health services for ALL.
- Farmers deserve the Right to Repair.
- We need tariffs off our goods.
- Access to healthy, local food choices.
- Due process for ALL.
- Immigrants make Iowa better.
- Iowans deserve clean water.
