Dan Coe backs Medicare for All and proposes a state‑administered fund to provide free primary care within a year
Summary
At a Neighbor to Neighbor forum in Lynn, Dan Coe said he supports Medicare for All and urged immediate action to expand access to primary care through a state‑administered primary care fund that would deliver free primary care quickly.
When asked about health care and potential large Medicaid cuts, Dan Coe affirmed support for Medicare for All and said immediate action is needed to expand access to primary care.
"So Medicare for all, yes," Coe said. He told the forum he would prioritize creating a state‑administered primary care fund to deliver free primary care within a year so people could see a doctor promptly rather than waiting months. "I think we can do it within a year, free for everybody," he said, describing the fund as a short‑term intervention that would be pursued alongside the longer‑term goal of Medicare for All.
Coe also warned that proposed federal changes and cuts to programs such as SNAP and Medicaid would have immediate consequences for food pantries and access to care. He presented primary care expansion as a pragmatic step that could provide tangible relief while broader health‑system reforms move forward.
