The fight for healthcare right now can’t end with ACA subsidies. It HAS TO BE bigger. Too many Americans are suffering over medical debt and spiraling costs.
It should be nothing short of Medicare for All.

Folks *should be* spitting mad about a few Senate Dems capitulating as health insurance premiums skyrocket for 25M people.
But where’s that same energy when it comes to guaranteeing healthcare without premiums at all for 350M people through Medicare for All?

I am proud to announce that tonight, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) endorsed my campaign for U.S. Senate. Rep. Tlaib embodies the bold, principled leadership that Michiganders trust to never back down in the face of injustice. Honored to have her by our side in this fight.

Back in the 90s, big healthcare ran an ad to scare Americans into opposing health reform. It ended in a famous line: “When they choose, we lose.” As millions of Americans face health insurance price hikes with impossible deductibles, I visited Harry and Louise in 2025 to see what they think:

Abdul is asking the important questions people usually don’t have to consider. we came close to choosing between bills and healthcare for a few months and had MULTIPLE fallback options when i lost my job after my husband’s surgery. imagine having nothing to turn to, MI deserves better!
You shouldn't have to choose between paying for your healthcare or covering your mortgage.
I spoke to Kellie at our town hall in Houghton about why she supports Medicare for All.

I went to med school to learn to heal. And that’s when I realized it was our society that was making people sick. So I decided to use my medical training to heal those pathologies—and it’s why I’m running for U.S. Senate now.

The existence of medical debt is a policy choice.
Undoing it is a policy choice, too.
