Opinions on Issues
Issues | Stance | Summary |
| Universal Healthcare | Against | Leyva does not support universal healthcare but supports an affordable healthcare system with options for patients. Leyva believes that the current healthcare system should be replaced and "In its place we must combine what worked best in the past with changes needed for the future. We must recover the traditional patient-physician relationship based on mutual trust, informed consent, and confidentiality. To simplify the system for both patients and providers, we will reduce mandates and enable insurers and providers of care to increase healthcare options and contain costs. Our goal is to ensure that all Americans have improved access to affordable, high-quality healthcare, including those struggling with mental illness."
