We currently power Maine by burning fossil fuel. This action drains billions of dollars out of state each year, because no fossil fuel reserves are found here.

We can achieve universal health care in Maine by creating a single public insurance pool that covers everyone from birth to death. This will lower costs across the board, eliminate billing hassles and bankruptcies, and ensure that everyone in Maine always has access to excellent health care when they need it. A single public insurance pool means no more fights over pre-existing conditions, no arguments about who deserves subsidies, and no disagreements about guaranteed rates of profit for private insurance companies. We can cover everyone, all the time, with an efficient system we all support through our taxes. Learn more
Podemos lograr la atención médica universal en Maine mediante la creación de un único grupo de seguros públicos que cubra a todos desde el nacimiento hasta la muerte. Esto reducirá los costos en general, eliminará los problemas de facturación y las bancarrotas, y garantizará que todos en Maine siempre tengan acceso a una excelente atención médica cuando la necesiten. Un solo grupo de seguros públicos significa que no habrá más peleas por condiciones preexistentes, no habrá discusiones sobre quién merece los subsidios y no habrá desacuerdos sobre las tasas de beneficio garantizadas para las compañías de seguros privadas. Podemos cubrir a todos, todo el tiempo, con un sistema eficiente que todos apoyamos a través de nuestros impuestos. Learn more

Every other government in the developed world does. Experience shows that providing health care to all is more affordable and more humane than denying health care to some. Learn more
If we are able to recover quickly from the economic impact of coronavirus, my priority as your legislator will be to change how the state does its budget, to prioritize education so the Governor and Legislature working together can meet their responsibility to provide funding to every school district in Maine at the 55% level determined by statewide referendum.
