Medical bankruptcies are unique to America among the developed world. The strain our broken system is putting on families should be unacceptable to everyone, no matter what our political persuasions.
Unfortunately, one side of the healthcare “debate” is not willing to have that conversation. I hear talking points and vague “free market” solutions, but I’ve been hearing that for years and the problem gets worse! No one seems to want to have the tough conversations necessary to truly solve this problem and give some relief to struggling families.
State Senate candidate Guinn Unger is different. Guinn has an amazing understanding of healthcare, and I respect his firm convictions about the ultimate need for a national, cheaper and better, Medicare-for-All system. But until we work out the bigger picture on the national level, Guinn is not content to sit idly: he is running in order to find ways to lower costs and improve care for all western Coloradans as soon as possible.
Guinn Unger is the only candidate with the experience and knowledge to tackle this immense issue – he deserves your vote!
