Rep. Josh Riley for Congress

Watch the Riley campaign’s newest TV ad, “Every Parent,” which focuses on Josh’s work to lower healthcare costs and make sure families can actually afford the care they need.

For too many families, healthcare has become another bill they have to worry about every month — whether it’s prescription costs, insurance premiums, or simply being able to afford a doctor’s visit when someone gets sick.

Josh believes that people shouldn’t have to choose between getting the care they need and paying their other bills. That’s why in Congress he’s fighting to lower costs, protect access to care, and take on the insurance companies and corporate interests that profit when families pay more.

That’s really what this ad is about: making sure every family can get the health care they need without breaking the bank.
