American Healthcare Access & Integrity Act
Healthcare for everyone who wants it. Safer food for everyone. No mandates. No force. Your choice.
🏥 What Does This Bill Do?
Healthcare costs are out of control. Our food is full of chemicals banned in other countries. Rural hospitals are closing. This bill fixes it ALL: Medicare available to anyone (if you WANT it), safer food with no fake dyes, help for country hospitals, and cracking down on healthcare fraud. And it's 100% VOLUNTARY—nobody is forced to do anything!
