Dr. Rob Davidson: “Bridget Brink understands that health care should be centered around working people, not corporate profits or political agendas.”

LANSING, MI – Today, the Committee to Protect Health Care, the physician-led movement of over 50,000 medical professionals and health care advocates  dedicated to driving lasting change in health care, endorsed Bridget Brink for Congress in Michigan’s Seventh Congressional District.

“Bridget Brink understands that health care should be centered around working people, not corporate profits or political agendas,” said Dr. Rob Davidson, Executive Director for the Committee to Protect Health Care. “Bridget has shown a commitment not just to protecting health care, but to expanding and improving it for Americans. At a time when patients and families are facing rising costs for everything, including their monthly premiums, prescription drugs costs, and more, it’s critical to have leaders in Congress like Bridget who will look out for them and their health, not the health of billionaires’ pocketbooks and corporate bottom lines.”

“As a breast cancer survivor, the fight for more affordable and accessible health care is deeply personal to me," said Bridget Brink, former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine and Democrat running for Michigan’s Seventh Congressional District. “Tom Barrett’s votes have made insurance premiums skyrocket for hardworking Michiganders, threatened rural hospitals, and kicked over 20,000 thousand people in our community off their coverage. This is unacceptable and flat out wrong. I’m honored to have the support of the Committee to Protect Health Care in our fight to fix our broken health care system and take on the insurance and drug companies that are making care unaffordable for too many of our neighbors.”

The Committee to Protect Health Care is a mobilization of over 50,000 physicians, other medical professionals, and health care advocates across the United States to fight to ensure everyone has the care they need to thrive. The Committee to Protect Health Care endorses candidates who exhibit a commitment to working toward solutions to the health care issues people across the United States face every day: Lack of affordable or adequate health coverage, high prescription drug costs, and threats to reproductive health care services.
