Where they stand
Affordability & cost of living
Makes affordability one of her three pillars ('Unbossed'), calling herself the only middle-class candidate. Bundles universal health care, a simplified tax code that makes the wealthy pay more, affordable housing, and indexing Social Security to inflation.
Housing
'Affordable Housing Access' — a federal one-to-one match for state and city housing dollars so localities set priorities, build senior housing, and reverse NYCHA underfunding.
Health care
Backs universal health care 'starting with catastrophic coverage' and eradicating medical fraud.
