Taking care of South Dakotans means making certain that there is access to the care they need to remain healthy and live a high quality of life. I will continue to advocate for advances in rural health care, access to hard-earned health care through the VA for our veterans and improvements at Indian Health Services (IHS) on reservations. I also believe we must continue our work to find treatments and cures for cancer and other diseases.
