If elected, I will be the only medical doctor in the entire Massachusetts State Legislature. Our state legislature plays a significant role in regulating all aspects of healthcare, from cost to access to quality. Every day, I see the limitations of our system: people not being able to access a primary care doctor or specialist, patients left waiting in the ER for care, people putting off care due to being uninsured or underinsured, just to name a few. I am uniquely qualified, eager, and ready to tackle and solve these issues.
