The most pressing health care concern currently facing our state is the coronavirus crisis. Roberta believes that Donald Trump has put our state in danger with his slow and inadequate response to the crisis. She will fight to make sure Nevada has the equipment, capacity and health care staff to contain the coronavirus and ensure that every Nevadan can get the care they need.

​

For years, Roberta has fought to protect Obamacare from Trump and right-wing Republicans, who have jeopardized the progress we made protecting patients with pre-existing conditions, allowing kids to stay on their parents insurance longer, and blocking insurance companies from putting lifetime caps on insurance coverage. She will stand up to special interests, like big drug companies and health insurance companies, to get our health care costs under control.

​

Roberta believes access to quality, affordable health care for all is a right, not a privilege. That’s why she supports research currently underway to create a Nevada-specific public option to bring down health care costs in-state and provide more affordable insurance options for Nevadans. Roberta also plans to address the skyrocketing costs of prescription drugs by creating more transparency around drug pricing. Roberta understands that insurance companies continue to make huge profits at the expense of working people and their health. She’ll work tirelessly to curb health care costs while ensuring that union members and people who have health insurance they like are able to stay on their current plans.
