Shea supports national health care reform under the leadership of President Barack Obama. The Affordable Care Act will cover an estimated 30 million of the 50 million people who are currently uninsured. Open enrollment for the expanded health care coverage begins tomorrow with coverage going into full effect on Jan. 1, 2014. Shea’s stance on this issue is mirrored by the Travis County Democratic Party (TDCP) which believes 100% health care sponsorship is part of living the values of the party.

Demonstrating the strength of her campaign and her "Big Tent" approach to her County Commission race, former City Council member Brigid Shea unveiled powerful endorsements from State Senator Kirk Watson, former TX Ag Commissioner, Jim Hightower, former Senator Gonzalo Barrientos, NAACP head Nelson Linder, former State Rep Ann Kitchen, current AISD Chair, Vince Torres, environmental leader Robin Rather, Hispanic community leader Paul Saldana and many others at her packed HQ grand opening Sunday.
