Expand Medicaid. Texas remains one of the few states that has refused to expand Medicaid, leaving hundreds of thousands of working Texans caught in a coverage gap — they earn too much for traditional Medicaid but too little to afford private insurance. Zach supports closing that gap so no Texan is left without lifesaving care simply because they can’t afford it.

Lower the cost of care. Rising premiums, surprise bills, and out-of-pocket costs are squeezing families in District 112. Zach believes the Legislature should be working to bring costs down — not standing by while Texans get priced out of basic care.

Protect rural and community hospitals. When hospitals close or cut services, entire communities lose access to care — sometimes forcing families to drive hours for treatment. Zach supports policies that keep local hospitals and clinics open and fully staffed.

Support small businesses that want to cover their employees. As a small business owner himself, Zach knows how hard it is to offer good health coverage while keeping the doors open. He’ll push for options that make it more affordable for small businesses to provide real health benefits to their employees.

Protect women’s access to healthcare decisions. Zach believes women should have the unequivocal right to make their own medical decisions, and he’ll oppose efforts in Austin to interfere with that right.

Cut the red tape between patients and care. Too many Texans spend more time fighting insurance denials and navigating bureaucracy than actually getting treated. Zach supports commonsense reforms that put patients — not paperwork — first.
