Congressman Shri Thanedar is dedicated to ensuring that every individual in Michigan's 13th Congressional District, and across the United States, has access to quality healthcare. Recognizing that healthcare is a fundamental human right, he has co-sponsored the Medicare for All Act. This comprehensive bill aims to establish a national health insurance program that would extend coverage to all U.S. residents, thereby breaking down one of the most significant barriers to healthcare access.

In addition to championing universal healthcare, Congressman Thanedar supports a range of measures aimed at addressing health disparities and specific healthcare needs. He co-sponsored the Women’s Health Protection Act of 2023 to safeguard women’s autonomy and access to abortion services without government interference. Further, acknowledging the urgent crisis of maternal mortality and morbidity in the U.S., particularly among Black women, he has backed the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act. This legislation seeks to eliminate preventable maternal deaths and disparities. Moreover, he supports the Green New Deal for Health Act, which focuses on mitigating the health impacts of climate change, and the Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act, which aims to expand Medicare coverage for FDA-approved multi-cancer early detection tests. Additionally, he cosponsored the Child Care for Every Community Act, which will ensure that every family in every community has access to high-quality, affordable child care.

Through this multi-dimensional approach to healthcare policy, Congressman Thanedar is committed to making lasting improvements in the health and well-being of his constituents.
