Expanding Medicare to Work for Families — Not Corporations

America’s families deserve a healthcare system built around their real needs — not corporate profits. I know this personally. Growing up, my family struggled with medical debt and the cost of my father’s care. Later, after years helping build healthcare companies, I saw firsthand how insurers and drug companies profit while families are left to navigate a broken system.

That’s why I’m fighting to expand and modernize Medicare — one that lowers costs, improves access, and supports families at every stage of life.

Expand Medicare to Cover the Care Families Actually Need
Expand Medicare to include dental, vision, hearing aids, and in-home nursing care, so seniors and people with disabilities can age with dignity at home instead of being forced into costly institutions.

Universal Childcare
Families can’t work if they can’t afford care. Eric supports universal childcare so parents aren’t priced out of the workforce and children get a strong start.

Improve Access to Mental Health Care
Mental health care is healthcare. Eric will expand Medicare coverage for mental health services, reduce wait times, and ensure care is affordable and accessible for children, adults, and seniors alike.

Lower Prescription Drug Costs
Eric will take on Big Pharma by expanding Medicare’s power to negotiate prices, cap out-of-pocket costs, and ensure access to free or low-cost generic medications.

Lower Overall Health Care and Insurance Costs
By expanding Medicare coverage and reducing the role of profit-driven middlemen, Eric’s plan lowers premiums, deductibles, and surprise medical bills — putting families back in control of their care.

Protect Reproductive and Fertility Care
Ensure Medicare covers abortion care, contraception, IVF, and fertility services so families — not politicians or insurers — can make their own decisions.

The Bottom Line

Healthcare shouldn’t bankrupt families or force impossible choices. By expanding Medicare to cover dental, vision, childcare, mental health, and in-home care — while lowering drug and insurance costs — Eric Jones’ plan puts people first and makes the system work for families again.
