Healthcare

The candidate supports affordable access to healthcare while criticizing the Affordable Care Act as unaffordable for many and emphasizes prevention (fitness, nutrition, mental health) as central to health policy. He indicates support for government programs that promote preventive health but also expresses vaccine opt-out options for people who previously had COVID or have religious/medical objections. Overall his statements do not commit to a clear progressive expansion (e.g., public option/Medicare for All) nor to explicit conservative repeal or market-based reforms.
