Dan Feehan, Cheniqua Johnson, and Maxwell Kaufman support accessible, affordable health care for all
To the editor:
We, as registered nurses, believe that health care is a human right and that we have an ethical responsibility to fight for it. We support Dan Feehan for the US House of Representatives and Cheniqua Johnson and Maxwell Kaufman for the Minnesota House of Representatives because they too believe accessible, affordable health care is a human right.
The gridlock in Washington is preventing any real progress on improving health care and health insurance systems. Dan Feehan, Cheniqua Johnson, and Maxwell Kaufman will make sure that the challenges and opportunities of our rural communities are part of the discussion in Washington and St. Paul. Too many people in southern Minnesota don’t have access to health care locally and must drive hours for the care they need. Many of our neighbors can’t afford their insurance and out of pocket costs. The fear of “pre-existing conditions” returning is pervasive. As registered nurses, we want to be part of a community that cares for its neighbors. Dan Feehan, Cheniqua Johnson, and Maxwell Kaufman want to expand coverage for those who still fall through the cracks in our health care system. They will fight for accessible, affordable health care for all.
