Meriam will also ensure that everyone, including seniors, has access to healthcare and childcare, as well as expand access to mental health services and preventative care. Lower the cost of prescription drugs and helping families struggling with medical debt is a priority.
What Meriam Would Do in Harrisburg
Make Coverage and Care More Affordable
Protect Medicaid. Families, seniors, and people with a disability should know their care will be there when they need it.
Lower Prescription Drug Costs
Drug prices must fall at the counter, not just in a press release. Meriam backs lower costs for patients and firm rules for drug firms.
Keep Government Out of Personal Medical Decisions
Patients and doctors should make choices about abortion, birth control, IVF, and pregnancy care. Harrisburg politicians should stay out.
Milou Mackenzie voted yes on SB 106. It sought to put abortion rights at risk in the state constitution.
Protect Access to Personal Healthcare
Meriam will fight long waits, extra forms, and other roadblocks that make legal care hard to get.
Milou Mackenzie voted yes on HB 118. It would add new steps and costs after abortion care.
Defend Pennsylvania as a Safe State for Care
Pennsylvania should not help another state punish a patient or doctor for care that is legal here.
Milou Mackenzie voted no on HB 1786. The bill would protect people who cross state lines for legal care.
Protect Contraception and IVF
Birth control and IVF are health care. Keep both within reach, with no politician in the middle.
Milou Mackenzie voted yes on HB 1140, which grew birth control coverage.
She also backed SB 106, which put abortion rights at risk.
