I support Congressman Jared Golden for his strong position on expanding health care coverage. As a senior citizen I am acutely aware of the need for access to affordable, high-quality care.

It is not unusual for seniors to visit one’s primary care physician more frequently. Ailments, injuries, sickness and chronic health conditions require medical intervention by trained providers.

Knowing one’s health care needs will be addressed as well as accessible in our urban and rural communities is vital to senior citizens’ well-being.

Jared backed a bill to support Medicaid expansion, enabling more people to access health care. He supported the Inflation Reduction Act, which empowered Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices for seniors.

Jared is a powerful advocate for his constituents. His staunch position on defending and expanding health care coverage for every American deserves our support. He’s a consistent voice in pressing for the needs of Second District citizens.
