New Mexico is in the midst of a healthcare crisis.

Donald Trump is raising healthcare costs, and New Mexico is facing the second-worst physician shortage in the country.

Right now, people are waiting months for care, traveling out of state to see a specialist, or going without care. At the same time, healthcare providers are stretched thin, underpaid, and overworked.

Supporting our doctors has never been more urgent. But instead, the University of New Mexico refuses to raise resident physicians' pay — among the lowest in the Southwest — and is trying to remove strong anti-discrimination language from their contracts.

Failure to invest in healthcare providers and tackle our healthcare crisis head-on will have long-term consequences for care across our state.

That’s why Deb is urging the UNM Board of Regents to increase salaries for resident doctors and preserve anti-discrimination language in their union contracts. And it’s why, as governor, she’ll protect Medicaid, lower healthcare premiums, invest in rural hospitals, and recruit and retain healthcare providers.

Will you add your name now to stand with Deb and UNM’s unionized resident physicians? When we stand with resident physicians, we’re standing up for patients, for families, and for a future where every New Mexican can get the care they need.
