U.S. Senate candidate: 'It is time to take care of our citizens' with universal health coverage

U.S. Senate candidate and American Human Rights CEO Khaled Salem recently announced that he wants to help Americans achieve a better quality of life and would support legislative oversight of health care fraud, according to Cision PR Newswire.

"The U.S. is the only global industrialized country that does not provide universal health coverage, and it is time to take care of our citizens," Salem told Cision PR Newswire. "People struggle to pay individual and health care premiums. An entire swath of citizens is burdened with huge medical bills, if they can even afford them, until they qualify for Medicare."

In response to widespread health care fraud, Salem says that he was been working together with insurance experts to better understand health care fraud. Medical fraud costs tens of billions of dollars and affects all citizens in the form of diverted resources and inflated premiums.

"Resources are out of reach for Americans because of fraud committed by medical providers, patients and others defrauding the health care system," Salem said, according to Cision PR Newswire. "These criminals prevent medical treatment that their fellow Americans otherwise might have had."

Salem is running against incumbent and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) in 2022. Salem is also a Democrat.

Human rights activist Khaled Salem has dedicated his entire adult life to serving the citizens of New York and has become one of the nation’s most trusted experts in international relations.
