This is an especially vexing issue in Texas. The Texas Legislature has gone into overdrive trying to limit women's access to care. As a physician, it is maddening. 1/

I've spent my career giving women the tools that they need to prevent pregnancies and abortions, and supporting women's bodily autonomy. 2/

When I see and hear the outright lies and distortions of science coming out of legislative bodies from the state to federal level, I get so frustrated. The evidence is there as you so clearly stated in the question. 3/

But we only have around 24 people serving in Congress with science degrees, so it is no wonder that we have trouble getting science into those rooms. 4/

As the
#VoteProChoice candidate in this race, I want to take my knowledge and experience using science into those rooms to give all women the same tools I have given my patients. #1 reply 15 retweets 32 likes -

Dovetailing: Q6: You’ve specialized in family medicine in Texas for 18 years so you know families make difficult decisions when faced with the cost of healthcare.

I have been an advocate for as
#SinglePayer healthcare system since 2009, and I've only grown stronger in my support over time. I've seen the devastation to patients when they cannot access care. 2/1 reply 25 retweets 49 likes -

Concurrently, we would drop
#Medicare eligibility down to age 55, then gradually lower the age until all are covered. The transition would be written into law, not left up to future Congresses to tinker with. 4/3 replies 24 retweets 51 likes
That way, patients, business, and the economy would have time to adjust. Everyone would know when the changes were coming. Since healthcare constitutes 1/6 of our economy, it is important that we make sure things stay stable. 5/

Adding younger, healthier people to
#Medicare would actually make the system stronger and more viable. And eventually, everyone would be covered. 6/1 reply 17 retweets 35 likes -

No more worrying about changing jobs, moving across state lines, or having a pre-existing condition. Not to mention all the paperwork you can avoid every time your insurance changes! 7/
