Quality of Life

Americans have paid into a system that often falls short when it comes to providing the resources people need to meet everyday challenges. Our taxes should go toward programs that truly benefit us, not just fund bureaucracies that don’t address real needs. Ensuring access to essential services can help people live healthier, more secure, and more stable lives. That means providing universal healthcare so everyone can get the care they need without facing financial ruin, as well as offering four weeks of paid time off and maternity and paternity leave to support workers and families.

Families should also have access to universal childcare and early learning programs that give children a strong start and help parents balance work and family responsibilities. New parents should be supported with postpartum packages and resources that ensure both their physical and mental well-being. By investing in these programs, we can build a system that works for everyone, giving people the support and security they deserve to thrive in daily life.
