Congresswoman Katie Porter: A True Healthcare Champion

In just two short years, Congresswoman Katie Porter has proven she is a tireless champion for better healthcare – fighting to protect families with pre-existing conditions, to lower the price of prescription drugs, and to pass paid family leave, so as well as staying home sick ourselves, we can stay home to care for sick family members, and protect the health of our communities.

During the COVID-19 emergency, Katie Porter has stood alongside healthcare workers and advocates fighting for better patient care. Porter is one of the strongest healthcare advocates in Congress, holding healthcare industry CEOs accountable for high prices and poor performance, fighting to preserve and expand coverage, and making COVID-19 testing free.

On issue after issue – starting with better healthcare – Katie Porter is fighting for us, and winning. As a single mother of three, Katie Porter is fighting to protect her family and ours.

The choice is clear – join California’s healthcare workers in supporting Katie Porter for Congress.

Protect Your Healthcare.
Vote NO on Greg Raths.

HEALTHCARE WORKERS’ AND CONSUMERS’ WARNING: Katie Porter’s opponent, Greg Raths, is advocating failed policies that would deny care for millions of Californians while eliminating protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

Protect your healthcare: Defeat Greg Raths.

We can defeat COVID-19 and help Americans recover by taking these common-sense steps:

  • Show our concern for each other and defeat the virus by wearing masks outside of our homes, washing hands often, maintaining physical distance, and staying home when we are sick.
  • Dramatically expand COVID-19 testing and make it free so everyone has access to rapid results, and immediately expand our ability to reach out to people who have been in contact with individuals infected with COVID-19, so they can be tested and quarantine if necessary.
  • Ensure there are adequate supplies of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for medical personnel, first responders, and essential workers so they can safeguard their health and prevent the spread of COVID-19 in their workplaces and throughout the broader community.
  • Provide paid sick leave to people infected with COVID-19 so they can stay home for all our safety, and provide paid family medical leave so people can stay home to care for sick relatives.
  • Increase support for workers who have lost their jobs because of necessary closures so the burden of COVID-19 does not fall unfairly on just some members of the community, and create a “restart” fund for small businesses that have been forced to close or have laid off workers.
  • Provide additional support for at-risk groups including seniors, people with disabilities, and individuals with underlying conditions, as may be necessary to keep them safe from infection.
  • Make plans and supply resources so hospitals and specialty care units have adequate surge capacity to provide care for all who need it during the oncoming spike of COVID-19 infections.
  • Plan for a rapid, safe, and fair roll-out of vaccines all across the country once they are available.
  • Defeat all attempts to strip current protections for those who have pre-existing medical conditions (including COVID-19 diagnosis). Protect and expand access to affordable, quality health care for all – which is now more important than ever – including increased access to the mental health care and substance use treatment that so many of us need in this difficult time.

In this election, we have the opportunity to protect our own healthcare and the healthcare of our family, friends, and neighbors.

This is the most important election of our lifetimes — and the turnout could set records.
