Health CareMany of my efforts in the Senate focus on improving health care for New Mexicans. I am the only member of the majority to sit on both the Health Education and Labor (HELP) Committee and Finance Committee, which together have primary jurisdiction over the U.S. healthcare system. My efforts on the HELP committee focus on improving healthcare workforce to attract qualified doctors, nurses, and other professionals to New Mexico. I am also working to strengthen the nation’s healthcare infrastructure, and to address health disparities and the problem of obesity, particularly among children. As a member of the Senate Finance Committee, the panel with sole jurisdiction over Medicaid and Medicare, I am working to improve and expand quality health care to all New Mexicans -- especially those who are currently uninsured.
