As a Physician Associate (PA) and public health professional, Kishla has cared for patients and led teams through crisis. She knows Nebraska’s healthcare system should work as one — not as fragmented services that leave people behind.

Her Whole Health approach builds a true system of care that connects prevention, primary care, behavioral health, and emergency response into one coordinated network. She will lower prescription costs, expand access to affordable generic drugs, protect Medicare and the Affordable Care Act.

In Congress, Kishla will:

Make Healthcare More Affordable

• Expand access to affordable generic drugs to lower prescription costs and break the hold of middlemen.

• Lower drug costs by expanding insulin caps and adding protections for inhalers, EpiPens, and cancer medications.

• Protect and expand Medicare, including vision, dental, and hearing.

• Preserve ACA tax credits so Nebraskans can afford coverage.

• Oppose Medicaid cuts that threaten rural hospitals and clinics.

Expand Rural and Preventive Care

• Expand telehealth and broadband to every ZIP code.

• Fund mobile clinics for maternal care, cancer screenings, and behavioral health.

Build a System of Mental Health Resilience

• Further mature the integration of the 988 crisis response system as part of a coordinated Mental Health Resilience Package, ensuring mental health emergencies receive the same unified, immediate response as fire or medical calls.

• Establish a Mental Health Innovation Center for Farmers and Ranchers — a Nebraska-based hub for rural access, workforce training, and suicide-prevention outreach.
