Positions

LiberalConservative

Healthcare

The candidate advocates reducing healthcare costs by encouraging private-sector business models and funds to lower costs and supports making changes to Social Security and Medicare to ensure long-term solvency. Responses on healthcare are brief and do not endorse a specific federal policy like Medicare for All, a public option, or explicit market-focused reforms. The overall stance is generalized and not clearly aligned with a single rubric category.
