Building a health care system that works for patients and families
Senator Murray is focused on making sure the stories, values, and priorities of Washington state families are represented in Washington, D.C. When it comes to health care, this means fighting for affordability, access, and quality—for a health care system that works for women, families, and seniors, and puts their needs first. She believes that families should be able to find the doctors they need right in their own communities, get quality care without breaking the bank or dealing with unnecessary red tape, and shouldn’t have to worry about insurance companies dropping them when they get sick or charging them more for care simply because of who they are or where they work.
Senator Murray also believes that government has an important role to play when it comes to investing in a strong health care workforce, as well as in health care research and innovation to create good jobs, find cures for the toughest diseases families everywhere face, and ensure that the United States continues to lead in the 21st century global economy.
