Campaign websiteBains' campaign website stated the following:Health CareDr. Jasmeet Bains has seen firsthand how Washington decisions affect families’ health and make the difference between being able to afford a prescription or putting food on the table.In Congress, she’ll fight to protect Medicare and Medicaid from devastating cuts, expand access to quality, affordable health care, and ensure seniors, working families, and rural Californians can count on the care they deserve. She’ll take on special interests and the drug companies to lower the cost of prescription medications, so no patient has to choose between paying for their medicine or their mortgage. In the Assembly, she led the fight to lower and cap insulin prices.As a practicing family physician and Chief Medical Officer for the Central Valley, Dr. Bains knows our region suffers from some of the worst health outcomes and one of the most severe provider shortages in the nation. Just like when she led the effort to build a UC medical school in Kern County, Dr. Bains will work to expand rural health access and incentives for doctors, nurses, and other health professionals to serve in underserved areas — ensuring every community, no matter its ZIP code, has access to quality and affordable care.From serving patients in her clinic, to standing up surge hospitals on the frontlines of COVID-19, and deploying to California’s wildfires to operate field hospitals and provide emergency care to evacuees and firefighters – there is nothing more important to Dr. Bains than fighting for her community’s care. She will bring that same resolve to Washington.AffordabilityEveryday costs in the Central Valley are squeezing too many families. Dr. Bains will fight to lower the price of essentials — from gas, rent, and utilities to groceries, childcare, and health care — and to make sure paychecks stretch further. She supports commonsense policies to curb inflation and eliminate reckless tariffs that hurt Valley farmers and raise prices on working families.Dr. Bains believes hard work should be rewarded with fair pay. She’ll take on Washington politicians who hand tax to billionaires and big corporations while Valley families are left paying the price.Economic Opportunity and JobsThe Central Valley has fueled California’s economy for generations, but too often, gets left behind. Dr. Bains will fight to protect the jobs we have and create high-quality jobs right here at home by investing in agriculture, and infrastructure — projects that put people to work today while building the foundation for long-term economic growth.She supports passing the PRO Act to strengthen workers’ rights and ensure every worker has a voice on the job. Dr. Bains will push for a just transition that protects energy workers as our economy adapts to clean energy, so no worker is left behind. And she’ll champion public investment in rural and underserved areas — from roads and water systems to broadband — to attract new industries and good-paying union jobs for the next generation.— Jasmeet Bains' campaign website (March 9, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
