“Robert Peters Believes In Quality Healthcare for All

Robert isn't afraid to stand up to the health insurance industry. In Springfield, he took on predatory health insurers and expanded mental health coverage, providing people some relief from crushing health care costs. In Congress, he’ll push us further, fighting to roll back Trump’s cuts to Medicaid and Obamacare while passing laws like Medicare for All that make quality health care a universal guarantee. He’ll also work to bring a Level 1 or Level 2 trauma center to the South Suburbs to save lives in our communities.”

“Everyone deserves affordable, accessible health care no matter their income or ZIP code. I’ll fight to lower prescription drug costs, cap insulin prices, expand access to generic drugs and restore funding for rural and suburban hospitals. Health care is a human right and I support a Medicare for All framework.

No one should die from preventable pregnancy complications or be forced to give birth. I’ve led efforts on the county board to fund doula programs and reduce maternal health outcome disparities. I also helped secure millions for reproductive health care access in Illinois. In Congress, my focus will be to codify Roe v. Wade and ensure every woman can make her own health care decisions.”

“HEALTHCARE IS A PRIORITY

The One Big Brutal Bill passed this summer will rip Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) from thousands of residents across Illinois' Second Congressional District. Millions will lose their health coverage, and hospitals dependent on Medicaid may be forced to close.

Jesse Jackson Jr. is prepared to fight these cuts and would push Congress to restore life-saving benefits.
Residents in rural areas in the District should not be expected to drive more than 30 minutes to an hour to the nearest emergency room or 24-hour urgent care facility. Mothers cannot afford long commutes to a labor and delivery unit amid a surging shortage crisis in maternal care resources. Unpaid caregivers deserve more respect and support.

In Congress, Jesse Jackson Jr. was effective in expanding access to healthcare. He will work to:
Strengthen the Affordable Care Act (ACA), including restoring federal subsidies and ensuring that every person in Illinois can get access to primary care and an annual checkup.

Advocate for policies that prioritize healthcare accessibility, affordability and quality of care with a focus on addressing disparities in underserved communities.

Champion caregiver tax credits or cash stipends for low- and middle-income families to help blunt out-of-pocket costs and debt. Expand Medicaid and VA-funded programs that pay family caregivers a modest wage. Increase funding for home- and community-based services, expand respite care so caregivers can tend to their own health, broaden caregiver training programs for more medical skills, and invest in caregiver mental health services and peer support networks.

Expand healthcare networks, increase funding for community health centers and foster partnerships with reputable healthcare companies capable of delivering quality, affordable healthcare to the Second Congressional District so that the care we deserve is available on time, every time.

Increase access and coverage for mental health resources, including federal funding for community health centers and crisis intervention programs. Support legislation to expand Medicaid coverage for mental health services.

Be a fierce advocate to address the maternal health crisis for all and address the disproportionate impact on rural communities and Black and Hispanic mothers and infants.

Protect reproductive rights and a woman’s right to choose to ensure every patient can make their own healthcare decisions, on their own, for their own well-being.
Build out healthcare networks in rural communities through grants that leverage partnerships with our community colleges and existing healthcare providers to reach more people.
