Community Catalyst President and CEO Linda Goler Blount reflects that people are tired of a healthcare system that regularly forces hardworking people to choose between buying food or buying medicine or that causes them to delay needed care until problems become unavoidable, costly emergencies.
BOSTON, Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Following significant gains made by the Democratic party in the U.S. House and Senate, as well multiple state legislatures and governorships in the 2026 midterm elections, Community Catalyst President and CEO Linda Goler Blount issued the following statement:
"On Tuesday, as we heard throughout our work preceding the election, voters made it clear that they want Washington to address the affordability crisis in healthcare."
"People are tired of a healthcare system that regularly forces hardworking people to choose between buying food or buying medicine or causes them to delay needed care until problems become unavoidable, costly emergencies. Communities across the country live in a reality where healthcare is out of reach due to shuttered clinics, high copays and deductibles, and cuts to Medicaid and the ACA.
"We look forward to working within the halls of Congress and statehouses nationwide to create a health system where people get the quality care they need without going into debt. Where getting and keeping insurance is easy for all people. And where politicians have no place in the exam room and healthcare decisions are made between a patient and their doctor."
"The people have spoken. It's time for Washington to listen."
