The Peace and Freedom Party believes that access to quality medical and dental care is a basic human right. We stand for a democratically-controlled, publicly-funded health care system. We support health practices that emphasize education, prevention and nutrition. We demand:

-Free, high-quality health care for everyone.

-Eliminate for-profit health care.

-Free immunization programs.

-No private patents on drugs developed through publicly-funded research.

-Price controls on drugs and medical technology.

-Safe pre-natal care, including women's choice of birth alternatives.

-More medical facilities to provide services and education in low-income neighborhoods and rural areas.

-More substance abuse treatment and needle-exchange programs.

-More research into diseases and disorders caused by man-made substances.

-More community health care facilities.

-Support non-standard proven methods.

-Special attention to preventing epidemics of communicable diseases, such as AIDS.
