Too Many Families Are Sick and Broke
Just across the border in Canada, everyone has health care.
Not if you have a good job.
Not if you’re lucky.
Everyone.
You get sick, you see a doctor, and you don’t worry about being financially wiped out.
Why are we okay with the fact that people across the border have more basic rights than people here?
Do you run a small business?
How much do you pay for health insurance?
Do you realize the Canadian economy is a fraction of the size of the U.S. economy?
So if they can do it, why can’t we?
And Canada isn’t some outlier. Germany. Italy. Japan. South Korea. Sweden. France. The United Kingdom. Every one of them guarantees health care. That isn’t ideology. That’s how modern economies function.
Here in Niagara County, life looks very different.
People delay doctor visits.
They ration medication.
They hope nothing serious happens.
We’ve normalized people walking around sick, stressed, and exhausted—not because they want to, but because they’re afraid of the bill.
We’re told fixing this is impossible.
Too expensive. Too complicated. Endless wait times.
But ask yourself a simple question: how often do you go to the doctor now?
For most people, the real wait isn’t in the waiting room—it’s deciding whether they can afford to go at all.
Here’s the truth: Americans already pay more for health care than anyone in the world and get worse outcomes. This broken system doesn’t just hurt families. It crushes small businesses, forcing them to compete while carrying health care costs businesses in other countries simply don’t have.
And the loudest voices saying “we can’t afford it” are often politicians who already enjoy gold-plated government health care themselves.
Enough.
So what’s the solution?
If Washington won’t act, the states must.
That’s exactly how Canada did it. They didn’t wait for a national miracle. Health care started in Saskatchewan, proved it worked, and spread.
New York can do the same.
We already have legislation that moves us in the right direction: the New York Health Act. The problem isn’t the idea. The problem is that career politicians have refused to even bring it to a vote.
I will push it—relentlessly.
No excuses.
No delays.
No hiding.
And New York doesn’t have to do this alone. We can partner with other states ready to lead, building a multi-state health care network that shares resources, lowers costs, and proves this works at scale. That’s how real reform spreads—results first.
Let me be clear: if you love the American health care system exactly as it is—the most expensive system in the world with some of the worst outcomes—this campaign probably isn’t for you.
But if you believe families shouldn’t be sick and broke in the richest country on Earth, then let me fight for you.
