Gretel has seen what happens when families cannot access the care they need, whether it is because services are underfunded, hospitals are stretched thin, or politicians put ideology ahead of people. Across rural and underserved communities, too many residents face long drives, high costs, and limited options just to see a doctor.

​

Gretel believes health care is a basic right for every person. She supports expanding Medicaid so more Texans can receive affordable, reliable care. She is committed to protecting and strengthening Medicare so seniors can access the doctors and treatments they depend on. She also supports stronger services and funding for people with disabilities, including home and community based care that allows individuals to live with independence and dignity.

​

Her priorities include improving access to primary care, mental health care, reproductive health care, and preventive services. When people can get the care they need close to home, families are healthier and communities are stronger.

Gretel is committed to building a health care system that puts people first and ensures every Texan can get the care they deserve.
